Items fixed / problem found: 8 of 10

One visitor must still try out their repaired item at home, so it’s possible we can add that to our “fixed” list. The laptop was the only item we were not able to fix.

That leaves us with…

Stories from the February Repair Cafe

It was a pleasure to greet you outside this month. Though our three-hour event saw some variations in temperature — from overcast and chilly to sunny and warm — the repair show went on without delay 😎

One special feature of this event is the “Uptainer” project, which an SDU student set up in front of our container. SDU usually hosts e-waste bins at the university, but they’ve recently been emptied. We now have a bookshelf with some radios, cables, keyboards, and other equipment that is FREE to take or exchange (self-service). Be sure to read the instructions and safety signs.

During this event, our volunteers worked on and helped visitors with multiple bike repairs. It’s always a great option to keep your bikes in proper working order 🔧

Our Chair Roberta used the event to rescue and restore a secondhand picture frame.

We also saw a couple of coffee machines — and we completely understand, as coffee is important to keep YOU in proper working order. One coffee machine was in need of a spare connector that we didn’t have at the container. Dedicated volunteer Jørgen biked home to get one, while volunteer Romain disassembled it, installed the connector, and reassembled it with lots of focus. 💪

Thanks to our visitors, as always, for your generous donations!
