Volunteers wanted: Ruma's yard after the storm

Garden rescue day in Dhaka: bring gloves and a rake.

Dhaka
I'm 71 and I have lived in this house in Dhaka for 42 years. After the storm in August, 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 heart condition. The council has told me it will be ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner. Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do. Thanks for being kind about this.

      You're not alone, Ruma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Xalapa this morning.

        Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Nagpur.
