Offer to Rebuild School

Dziner said :

I am in search of guidance and direction. I would like to help replace or rebuild a school devastated by last weeks Tsunami. I am the Director of a preschool in California. We are putting together a fund raising effort within our school, with the funds to go directly to building or repairing a school.The help I need is as follows:

1. Our Preschool is a for-profit-business, so I would like the assistance of a non-profit so that the contributions will be tax deductible, thus giving incentive to our families to give more.

2. We need assistance finding a community, village, island... where our efforts are truly needed.

3. We need assistance in facilitate and administering our giving.

I would appreciate any assistance you could give.
Thank you,

Trip to India Jan 17-Feb 16 Anything to do?

My wife and I have a trip planned to India beginning Jan. 17 in Chicago, arriving in Chennai on Jan. 19, with trip to Madurai/American College and on to Kerala, Goa, Mumbai, Delhi.

I was wondering if (1) there is anything I might take along as baggage to drop off in Chennai/Madurai/Kerala area, (2) there is any community telecom center to visit without getting in people's way.

First thought: How about bringing along computer modeling software for children/youth to propose ways to create "South Asia Tsunami Warning System," and perhaps some power bars or other healthy food.

I would like to explore how to link Illinois-based community technology networks including many at land grant universities serving urban and rural areas throughout the state, with similar community networks in India.

Offer of Assistance in India

My name is Oliver Binks, I've been in India since March and have a tourist visa that lasts until May.  I just heard about the tsunami disaster only two days ago and am willing to provide any support possible.  I have experience in building as I've been labouring on a british building site for a couple of years but am willing to do anything to help.  I have no formal qualification but have a lot of experience in working with people and possibly could help with moral support however, I only know the smallest bit of Hindi.  I spent 7 months in the Himalayas in which time I only stayed in a Guest House a few times the rest of my time spent in a tent, I therefore don't mind spending more time in a tent or sharing with/ donating it to other people.  If you could send some information I'd be glad to do anything in my power to ease the suffering of the people involved.   Highest Regards  Oliver
P.S.  I'm in Rajasthan at the moment so will take a few days to get to the effected areas.

Specialist - Water and Sewage Treatment - Willing to Volunteer

--- Tsunami Blog Reader Post----

I am a water/wastewater engineer with 10-years of experience in the design, construction and operation of many municipal water and sewage treatment systems - membrane/RO, direct filtration, disinfection, media filtration, distillation, etc. I offer free engineering or operation assistance from my location in New York, USA (where I am licensed as a Professional Engineer) anytime via phone (home phone 518.377.6642 or work phone 518.218.1801 extension 112) or email (kohara1@nycap.rr.com OR kohara@bartonandloguidice.com). Digital or scanned photos of the problem will be helpful if available, but not necessary. I have a valid passport and could help in person if needed for operation, construction and design of temporary or permanent drinking water or sewage treatment systems - again, this would be at no cost. In this case, please give me as much notice as possible so I can take a leave from my employer. Also, I realize it is selfish to ask, but anything that would offset the cost of my travel expenses would be greatly appreciated, but not required. I hope I am able to help in this way - we have donated money but want to do more. Our deepest sympathies go to all those affected by this horrific event - Keith, Heather and Anna O'Hara.

Assistance Offered for India

Hi,
I got your e-mail addresses from the SEA-EAT blog, I tried to leave a message about volunteering on it but it did not work. I would be grateful if you could inform me on how I can get involved in volunteering with the relief program in southern India. I am an English university graduate and I have volunteered in southern India previously. Although I am in England at the moment I am available to fly out to India, or any of the countries affected by the earthquake, immediately and I am able to stay as long as is needed. Although I do not have any particular skills, I am hard-working and will do anything to help.
Thanks,
Annie
