For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $410, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 487 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in February and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข Permits and inspections: $180 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $195 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $275 Thanks for being kind about this.

    • Sending good thoughts, Julian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
