NEEDED RESOURCES

Retreat 2 Eden is continually needing to tackle projects requiring general handyman repairs / fabrication, such as:
- Old / disused / broken items that are donated – most of which can be repaired and put to practical use which will be of much benefit.
- Maintenance of existing structures and equipment.
- Construction of additional structures etc.
- Up-cycling items that would be dumped – saving the environment and re-engineering waste into productively useful items.
