The old Baobab bus depot needs a playground - Courtney's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $2,300 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Baobab bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,300.
It will serve about 263 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $200
• Materials: $1,950
• Safety equipment and signage: $150
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
