A day in the garden: help Dawit in Mekelle
Garden rescue day in Mekelle: bring gloves and a rake.
🇪🇹 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia928 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Mekelle for 36 years. After the storm in May, 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 a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be eight 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
