Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Nakato in Dar es Salaam

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Dar es Salaam?

Dar es Salaam
I'm a home-care aide living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $290, 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 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. Thank you for reading my story.

    Praying for you, Nakato. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Karachi.
