Volunteers in Khulna are raising $450 for a free library and reading room at the Acacia vacant lot.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 532 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $450 goes: • Materials: $360 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $15 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Runa

    Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
