The old Liberty bus depot needs a community garden - Mekdes's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $600 for materials.
🇪🇹 Gondar, Amhara, Ethiopia1,136 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $100, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 181 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $450
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 22 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Rawalpindi.
