A day in the garden: help Birtukan in Gondar

Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Birtukan's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

Gondar
I'm 92 and I have lived in this house in Gondar for 20 years. After the storm in July, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of arthritis. The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
