Mapo

The Sycamore hillside has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 96 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 147 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, 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. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $450 goes: • Tools and protective gear: $135 • Signage and educational materials: $95 • Waste removal and skip hire: $220 Thank you so much. - Ji-ho

Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

Thinking of you and your family, Ji-ho. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Dammam
