The old Freedom bus depot needs a repair café workshop - Ayaan's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Nagpur are raising $350 for a repair café workshop at the old Freedom bus depot.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 219 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in November 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:
• Materials: $230
• Permits and inspections: $40
• Safety equipment and signage: $15
• Tools hire and delivery: $65
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Please keep us posted.
More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Nagpur.
Sending good thoughts, Ayaan. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing you the best, Ayaan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning
