Union Park needs a sensory garden for children with autism - Narong's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Bangkok are raising $950 for a sensory garden for children with autism at Union Park.
Anywhere in the world1,587 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $950.
It will serve about 238 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 $950 goes:
• Materials: $690
• Permits and inspections: $65
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
• Tools hire and delivery: $115
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Narong
Materials is $690 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Hang in there, Narong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Sending strength. Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted.
Best of luck. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Narong?
Looking forward to the next update. After 9 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Karlsruhe.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 32 people at work. Take care
Rooting for you, Narong. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
