The Baobab health centre yard needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Salma's neighborhood project

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, 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 $2,600. It will serve about 123 people, including school children and their families. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,600 goes: • Materials: $1,850 • Permits and inspections: $210 • Safety equipment and signage: $210 • Tools hire and delivery: $330 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Salma
