The Harmony health centre yard needs a youth football pitch - Hossain's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Sylhet are raising $500 for a youth football pitch at the Harmony health centre yard.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 514 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $500 goes:
• Materials: $380
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope it all works out, Hossain. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Hossain. I hope things turn around soon.
More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Kampala.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sylhet.
Thank you. If you're in Sylhet I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this, Hossain. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Butwal.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
wishing you the best. Great idea, hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Sylhet.
Thinking of you, Hossain. Shared this with my family. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in İzmir but we're thinking of you. Love from İzmir.
Sending strength, Hossain. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Sylhet
