Hubballi
The Pioneer hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 111 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 93 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, 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 $200 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $50 • Signage and educational materials: $15 • Waste removal and skip hire: $135 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Saanvi

          Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai
