I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kampala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $410, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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. Glad we found this place.

    Thinking of you, Byaruhanga. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
