The Acacia community hall needs a skate park - Raymond's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $3,550 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,550. It will serve about 183 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $3,550 goes: • Materials: $2,300 • Permits and inspections: $410 • Safety equipment and signage: $230 • Tools hire and delivery: $610 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Raymond

    Hope it all works out, Raymond. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best

    • Landon Prescott

      Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Dar es Salaam.
