For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Baobab bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 409 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 $350 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Materials: $310 • Tools hire and delivery: $15 Glad we found this place. - Uzma
