I am from California and would very much like to volunteer in SE Asia, doing anything I can to help. I know a lot of people have requested similar info-has anyone found an organization that is in need of volunteers? I am available immediately, and will take care of my own expenses, of course. I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I can be reached at meganmcdonell@hotmail.com

My husband and I were panning a vacation in Phuket, Thailand for January 15-30. In light of the awful events, we decided we'll still go and volunteer in any way we can. We have dear friends in India and Thailand and feel so fortunate that no one we love was lost. We want to help those who are hurt.
As for our skills: We've both got some backcountry medicine skills-- but are not doctors. We're writers/teachers, in our 30s and fit, and we've both lived in third world countries, and build houses with Habitat for Humanity. So, we aren't wimps! We know it'll be tough and we are ready to help any way that's needed. If anyone knows how civilians can get involved and assist, and what help is most needed, please contact us: megan_ga29@hotmail.com or brianshott@hotmail.com
We're also getting in touch with World Vision, CARE, and Doctors Without Borders.
God bless!

My children have collected a bag of wearable clothing and purchased 1000 exercise books that we would like to forward to an orphange or village in one of the regions affected by the tsunami, we have also donated cash to a couple of the aid organisations but the children wanted to send something els for the children. Can anyone offer advice in getting these items to the intended recipiecnts as none of the aid organisations in Australia that we know of are accepting goods -only cash. Please contact at mdelliott6@bigpond.com
many thanks
