Campinas

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $260, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 599 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $700 goes: • Materials: $430 • Permits and inspections: $100 • Safety equipment and signage: $85 • Tools hire and delivery: $85 With deep gratitude, Fábio

Updates from Fábio

Good news. Because of your gifts ($403 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 46% funded and I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage.
