Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Chathurika in Negombo
Chathurika, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Negombo.
🇱🇰 Negombo, Western, Sri Lanka1,276 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Negombo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
