Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Somchai in Chiang Mai
Somchai, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Chiang Mai.

I'm a school janitor living in Chiang Mai. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom 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 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 three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Nashik but we're thinking of you. All the best
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Ottawa

Take care, Somchai. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Duisburg.
