The old Pioneer bus depot needs a covered market stall space - Jacques's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $700 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Pioneer bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $150, and the remaining cost is $700.
It will serve about 365 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $700 goes:
• Materials: $580
• Tools hire and delivery: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Jacques. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Kota so I could bring a meal
take care, Jacques. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Ekurhuleni
