Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Mbali in Sandton

Mbali, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sandton.

Sandton
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Sandton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
