For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, 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 $600. It will serve about 503 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in August 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $600 goes: • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Materials: $495 Glad we found this place.

      Good luck, Thủy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nha Trang

      • Easton N. Lucas

        reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

        • Damian Kamiński

          More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Zagazig so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Johannesburg.

            Good luck, Thủy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Casablanca so I could bring a meal.

            • Cora A. Ruiz

              Rooting for you, Thủy. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
