Two weekends of roof repair for Mina, a single mother of three in Bhaktapur

The roof at Mina's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Bhaktapur. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 three or four volunteers 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
