My friends in Garafía saw a notice saying the Town Hall were accepting applications for grants to improve rural houses.
Boy were they interested! I phoned up for them, and it sounded like they might well qualify, so I asked for, and got, a list of documents they’d need. Then on Thursday I set off with Helen to the Town Hall.
It looks like they’ll be eligible, so they have to get the application in by May 15th, they’ll hear whether they qualify by September, and for how much (up to 50%). Then they have a year to do the work. When it’s finished, they show the receipts to the Town Hall and get a cheque. So they might just get their indoor toilet a lot sooner. They might even get a bath, at long last.
