Help Naledi patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Naledi's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Pretoria. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck, Naledi. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page.
Hang in there, Naledi. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Amsterdam.
