The Liberty vacant lot needs a solar-powered water pump - Geeta's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Muzaffarpur are raising $600 for a solar-powered water pump at the Liberty vacant lot.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 558 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $600 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
• Materials: $465
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Miami.
keep going. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
wishing you peace, Geeta. Your post was clear and honest. After 25 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Mumbai.
