Lotus Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 119 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 119 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the municipal water board, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $300 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $200
• Tools and protective gear: $80
• Signage and educational materials: $20
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bandung.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Good luck, Aditya. Your post was clear and honest. I hope July is when things finally get easier
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Iași but we're thinking of you. All the best.
praying for you, Aditya. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bandung
