For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,850. It will serve about 133 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $1,850 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $570 • Materials: $1,000 • Permits and inspections: $280 Thank you for reading my story. - Kendall
