The Baobab community hall needs a community garden - Thảo's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $450 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 199 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in January 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: $320
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $35
• Tools hire and delivery: $55

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thảo?
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
wishing you the best, Thảo. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
