Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Tek in Kathmandu
Tek, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kathmandu.

I'm a single mother of three living in Kathmandu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

sending strength, Tek. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal. Blessings
