Reea residents do it for themselves

Reea residents Cedric and Paul have kept busy with their own small businesses at the foundation.

Gregor Heidemann, the foundation’s marketing manager, said, “Cedric does a fine job of washing cars and cleaning the interiors at a very reasonable price.”

The enterprising resident set up his car wash outside the foundation’s bookshop, while Paul found a home for his furniture restoration skills in the foundation’s workshop.

Heidemann said Paul could repair garden furniture, riempie-work chairs, couches and wooden furniture. He was also able to re-upholster furniture, as well as sand and seal decks and garage doors.
