Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Nancy in Kampala

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kampala?

Kampala
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kampala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $740, 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 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.

    Hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
