The old Jacaranda bus depot needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Moin's neighborhood project

Volunteers in Lahore are raising $550 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the old Jacaranda bus depot.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 181 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $550 goes: • Materials: $390 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $45 • Tools hire and delivery: $70 Thanks for reading all this. - Moin

  1. We're at 39% thanks to 6 of you. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($65). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward tools hire and delivery.

    Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Móstoles donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Móstoles.

            You're not alone, Moin. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Lahore.
