Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Vikas in New Delhi

Vikas, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in New Delhi.

I'm a retired bus driver living in New Delhi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, 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 a small crew who can help over one long weekend. 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
