Women needed to join the latest Huon She Shed build project as labourers’ assistants. An amazing opportunity to learn practical building skills under the helpful guidance of our licenced builder Will. We need 2 teams of 5 to help with erecting wall sheets.

There will be other opportunities to assist at the shed over the next couple of months too.
