Rashidi, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kampala.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Kampala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Rashidi. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Best of luck, Rashidi. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kampala
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
