The Pioneer community hall needs a skate park - Fabiana's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Curitiba are raising $1,250 for a skate park at the Pioneer community hall.
🇧🇷 Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil1,708 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,250.
It will serve about 532 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $1,250 goes:
• Materials: $1,050
• Safety equipment and signage: $125
• Permits and inspections: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.
