Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Nadeesha in Jaffna
Nadeesha, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Jaffna.
🇱🇰 Jaffna, Northern, Sri Lanka84 views
I'm a school janitor living in Jaffna. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a 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.
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Riverside.
Hang in there, Nadeesha. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope it all works out, Nadeesha. I hope things turn around soon.
