Help Ashok patch the roof before the monsoon
Ashok, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kathmandu.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
