As good as new

A heavy hailstorm in the city of Cajamarca swept away the corrugated iron roof on the patio of our house. At first we thought we would leave it like that until the rainy season is over; also for budgetary reasons.

But one fine day our great friend José Huamán, a reader from the community of Alto Perú of Bambamarca, passed by. He, concerned about the situation, began to take measures, to do the maths, to look for cheap (but good) materials, to square and cure the wood that was getting damaged. And so, with dedication, affection and committing his brother and son, he left our roof as good as new. 

Thank you don José for fixing up the little house, for encouraging us.
