Volunteers wanted: Genet's yard after the storm
Fallen branches and overgrowth are blocking Genet's path; a few hours of help would make a big difference.

I'm 81 and I have lived in this house in Adama for 41 years. After the storm in July, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be six weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: two people with loppers and a wheelbarrow. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Genet. Gave what I could, wish it was more
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Da Nang this morning. Thinking of Adama.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Nakhon Ratchasima donated after I showed her your page. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.
