I currently live in Connecticut and am extremely interested in helping on the spot in Asia. I have traveled extensively throughout the region, and know some Tamil. I am almost fluent in Japanese, and know some basic terms in other Asian languages. Over the past few years I have helped construct many houses, and would be happy to extend my acumin to this disaster. I am willing to help an any way needed.
Please contact me at (714) 292-7572.
Thank you,

hello, my name is derek and i am a 24 year old medical student who has volunteered my medical knowledge in family practices, emergency rooms, and in the field in Haiti. I can be a great help in the medical field and i am also strong and would be able to do any kind of "grunt" work. I return to medical school in August and would love to do anything i can for my fellow man...however i have very little money (and what i have is being saved for a ticket to pay my own way over to SE Asia) I would still need an organization to work under though. I also learn languages very very quickly as i spent only 6 days in haiti and can speak comfortably with the haitians in their native tongue, creole.i can do whatever is needed of me... my email is : daseib@yahoo.com
thanks
derek

For people outside Sri Lanka, some of you who obviously do not have access to those IDD numbers, here's some email addresses of UN Staff in Sri Lanka who might be able to help you out with getting your names added to the Volunteer database:
okama.ekpe-brook@undp.org - in charge of the UN Sri Lanka Country office according to their site.
stacey.white@usa.net - she's coordinating all relief volunteers coming into the country I believe.
Please use the search facility here, loads of info regarding how you many volunteer in Sri Lanka have been posted by the SEA EAT Bloggers.
Good luck!

I'd love to help in any capacity I can. I'm a university student from Los Angeles with a background in accounting/finance. I doubt if that will be very usefull, but I am also certified by the American Red Cross as a professional lifeguard, which includes CPR, AED and first aid training. I've also got experience building homes for the poor in Mexico. Again, please let me know what I can do to help. I can be on a plane with 24 hrs notice.

Hi. I am currently a high school junior in California and would like to know if there is any way we can help. Our school has already instituted an all-city fundrasier for the cause in Asia and is currently running a fundraiser at the high school itself towards a goal of $30, 000 which we will be sending through the American Red Cross. Though students will probably be unable to provide aid on location, please let us know for example what supplies may be needed. Please contact me at nadeshikoflowers@gmail.com. Thank you.

I've got some free months upcoming, and I can think of no finer way to spend them than helping folks in the wake of the worst natural disaster any of us are likely to live through. I should be free through the last half of February and most of March and I want to spent that time in afflicted areas. My qualifications follow:
I am a certified Wilderness First Responder (WFR), which means I am trained to deal with basic medical problems in the a "wilderness context." The wilderness context is defined as being two or more hours away from definitive medical care, a condition I suspect applies to many tsunami-affected areas. I am certified my Wilderness Medical Associates (WMA). WFR certification includes training in Basic Life Support (BLS), including Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
While I have not traveled to this region, I have spent some time in developing countries. I have traveled to Tanzania twice, most recently spending 65 days there with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS).
I will have a passport by then – mine just expired, but I’m in the process of getting a new one – and I believe I’ll be able to cover my airfare.
I am willing to chop vegetables, dig through wreckage, move debris, serve soup, write press releases or sing kum-bay-ya, whatever is needed. Just tell me.
Please contact me when you can. I would be happy to answer any questions. Have a wonderful day. I hope you find tons of good recruits, and I hope to hear from you soon.
