Tema
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 597 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $550 goes: • Materials: $380 • Permits and inspections: $50 • Safety equipment and signage: $45 • Tools hire and delivery: $75 If you're reading this, thank you.

    take care, Esi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care

      You're not alone, Esi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Venice this morning. Thinking of Tema.

      • Savannah YoungQuestion

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Esi?

        • Esi Victoria TettehOwnerAnswer

          Thank you. If you're in Tema I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

      • Patrick Antoine Lambert

        Thinking of you. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless!

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
