Volunteers wanted: Nimal's yard after the storm
Garden rescue day in Colombo: bring gloves and a rake.
🇱🇰 Colombo, Western, Sri Lanka337 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in Colombo for 49 years. After the storm in April, 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 arthritis.
The council has told me it will be twelve 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.
I hope life is good to you.
