The Baobab health centre yard needs a community garden - Rukhsar's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Rawalpindi are raising $250 for a community garden at the Baobab health centre yard.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan885 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $250.
It will serve about 263 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $250 goes:
• Materials: $160
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Tools hire and delivery: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Rukhsar. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted.
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
good luck. Shared this with my family!
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Ciudad de México so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Best of luck, Rukhsar. I hope things turn around soon
