Candra, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Jakarta.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia613 views
I'm a school janitor living in Jakarta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $940, 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 anyone handy 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Jakarta.
Stay strong, Candra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
stay strong, Candra. Shared this with my family. Love from Arusha.
Hope things get better soon, Candra. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Ikeja
