Two weekends of roof repair for Ephrem, a home-care aide in Mekelle

Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Mekelle?

Mekelle
I'm a home-care aide living in Mekelle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings. 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
