The Jacaranda vacant lot needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Winda's neighborhood project
A community-led a sensory garden for children with autism at the Jacaranda vacant lot that will serve 587 neighbors.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,171 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 587 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 $450 goes:
• Materials: $240
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Karachi this morning.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bristol
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from London.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bogotá
