For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $1,400. It will serve about 503 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $1,400 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $115 • Permits and inspections: $105 • Materials: $1,180 Thanks for being kind about this. - Cristian
