Hi, we would like to offer our help in the areas hit by the tsunamis. I have extensive experience in food service management, have supervised large staffs and built temporary kitchens and cafeterias. I also have an udergraduate degree in health science. My boyfriend was a timber framer and would be great at building temporary shelters, etc. He has an undergraduate degree in environmental science. Please contact us as soon as possible if we can be of any help.
If anyone else has information on helping out in the areas affected please email me at Tarizzo@yahoo.com
Thank you,
Tracy and Joe
I have a Doctorate of Divinity and can offer my services in any area needed for hamanitarian aid. I am willing to pay my own expenses to, from, and in any of these Tsunami hit areas. I can clean up, load, offload, cook, feed, build or do any needed labor. I am easy to work with. I can also do counselling while being sensitive to the cultural and spiritual needs of a diverse populace. I can be contacted at kevinjvdw@aol.com
Hello,
My name is Kevin Duff.
I am writing this letter in an effort to offer my services as either an employee or a volunteer in your aid effort in south Asia. I am available for a 3 month posting, initially, perhaps more.
In fact, I had made the decision to seek employment with a humanitarian organization before Christmas of this year, and had been looking into three different possible career paths, (water, sanitation, and logistics) in my plan to acquire skills that would be in demand for workers in the field.
I still intend on following a course of study to gain skills useful in that endeavor.
I can see that right now, all the organizations that I have an interest in working with are all likely overextended due to the sheer size of this Asian disaster. It seems to me, that it would be appropriate to offer my services to your organization during this time of need. Unfortunately, most of my previous training does not lend itself particularly well to meeting the needs of your organization (in the fieldwork aspect, at any rate). My skills include computer maintenance and repair; I had previously qualified as a Microsoft professional in TCP/IP, a network protocol. I also have training as a commercial diver, and so am familiar with some industrial and rescue operations. Through that training, I was also certified in first aid (Red Cross), And CPR (HeartSaver). I also became very acquainted with hyperbaric first aid, and in dealing with various barotrauma. I have been known for having a cool head under extreme pressure, and operated well under those conditions.
I also have skills in sales, due to my personable nature and I have previously spoken (with a terrible English accent) Quebecois French, and have always found it easy to pick up the rudiments of other languages that I have been exposed to. I will provide to any agency interested, a copy of my resume.
Right now, I am mostly employed as a construction sub-contractor, and can easily and quickly clear my schedule.
I am forty years old, and single, with three children, who live with me about half the time. Family responsibilities are not an issue, as they are happy to stay with their mother, who lives just about two miles from me. (so long as I can make arrangements to see them with some regularity (every 3-6 months), we would be satisfied). I will happily donate 3-6 months of time to this effort. All I would require is shelter (although I have my own tent and camping equipment, and could use them) and food. I am not sure, but if necessary, I can contribute about $850.00CAN to my airfare, but unfortunately, cant go much beyond that, as I have other debts that I would have to settle before leaving on a long term volunteer assignment I am physically healthy, and recently passed an aviation medical examination for Transport Canada (August, 2003). Also worth mentioning is that I do have a drivers license (B.C., Canada, #6580551), and can drive manual transmission equipped vehicles.
I would be most pleased if any organization were to require my assistance, in ANY capacity, whilst dealing with this most terrible event.
I look forward to discussing my skills and enthusiasm for any positions you have available.
Thank You

I'm a 21 year old female, and I feel it is very important that I try to help the tsunami victims out in anyway that I can. Obtaining the money to go, shouldn't be a problem...but the length of time would be limited to two weeks tops, though. I've got many skills that would be of use, first aid/communicable disease certified. I've traveled to 4 other countries to do volunteer work. Please contact me for opportunities.

I am willing to help in any way I can for a period of up to one month and can pay for my own travel expenses. My main expertise is in the IT & software engineering field.

Hello
I am a 55 year old operations manager who has just retired, fairly good health, strong both in will and physically and very willing to commit to as long as it takes if help is required in Sri Lanka. I have some experiance in building trade, logistics, people skills, first aid experiance, and basically getting things done. Any area on the island, in any situation, can fund own travel, time is not a constraint for me, I dont want however to be in the way, just to help as much as I can, and being here in the UK does not make me feel as I am doing anything.
