Skills Needed

Peter Scarborough just send this request for skilled volunteers.

"We are currently building a staff accommodation unit and would welcome any tradesmen/women to work alongside our national so that we can quickly complete the building. Single staff are currently sharing bedrooms with up to 8 to a room. It is difficult for these staff to get adequate rest and personal space in this situation.

We would welcome anyone with the following skills:

July--September: Bricklayers, Carpenters (doors, window shutters, door and window frames), Cement workers (rendering internal walls), Plumbers.

September: Bathroom tilers, floor tilers

October:Carpenters (install 3 ply ceilings), Electricians, Painters
If you would like to volunteer your services for a few weeks or a month please contact us."

This is a greatly needed facility. It will have a men's wing and a woman's wing. This will meet the growing need for housing. The staff have been amazing and have been very flexible with the living conditions. The
accommodations will make it less crowded and much better for staff.
