Help Needed

Untitled-2

Are you a handy person who knows about lawnmowers?

Recently, a local council bought land with four houses and was planning to demolish them and leave the land empty for 5 years before developing it.  A group of charity and not-for-profit organisations in West Heidelberg negotiated with the council to keep the 4 houses to use for people who were homeless rather than demolish them. 

With many volunteers and donations we have been able to make all four available for occupancy. In three houses, six children now have a safe, comfortable and relatively spacious place to call home along with their mums. The fourth house is currently home for three adults, two of whom are asylum seekers. We are negotiating with another person who might move in soon.

I work for one of these organisations and run a garden maintenance enterprise for long term unemployed. We have two old lawnmowers which have been donated to us by clients but they are need repairs. We would like to repair them and leave them at the houses so the occupants can maintain their own gardens. 

We would love help from a someone that can repair lawnmowers. If they could also train others to do this, this would be very useful for some of the workers involved.
