Volunteer for Relief Efforts in Haiti
I don't know how many of you are interested in this, but I'll post anyway. If you think anyone on your f-list may be interested then feel free to boost the signal.
Global Volunteer Network is working on setting up volunteer relief efforts in Haiti over the next 12 months. From their website:
We are now working to implement a long term, sustainable volunteer project in Haiti.
GVN have commissioned an advanced team of relief professionals to make an initial assessment of the immediate needs on the ground, specifically addressing the following areas:
- Water and Sanitation
- Health and Safety
- Psycho-social trauma support
- Logistics and distribution
- Media outreach and communication
Once the advanced specialist team have completed their work and provided a report on the situation we will then send in a rebuilding and rehabilitation team of volunteers.
Due to the fact that we need to be ready to act when required, we are now requesting expressions of interest from volunteers who can lead or join one of our rebuilding and rehabilitation teams.
Volunteers will be required over the next 12 months, with a likely start date of March onwards, to help in the following areas:
- Working with Children
- Teaching
- Health/Medical
- Building and construction
- Counselling
- Business development
To check out more information go to their site where you will also find more information about applying for a volunteer position.
At least pass it on so it can reach someone who can help.
