notes: From the NYVOAD Member Directory: Disaster Program As a result of the devastating effects of the tsunami in December, 2004, businessman David Campbell headed to Thailand to see how he could help. His intended one week volunteer visit turned into a one month stay, during which he became one of the founders of HandsOnThailand, which, over three months duration, brought more than 200 volunteers and several hundred thousand dollars to assist the rebuilding of five Phuket fishing villages. After hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the US in 2005, David joined with several other HandsOn volunteers to establish HandsOnUSA. One week after Katrina, the team had an operations center in Biloxi, MS, 50 volunteers committed and en route, and dozens of community re-development projects launched. In total, more than 1,500 volunteers helped HandsOnUSA serve the survivors of Katrina during the five month deployment. In 2006, this volunteer response model became known as Hands On Disaster Response (HODR), and has since then engaged with large national and international natural disaster events for a total of eleven deployments. -> From the NYVOAD Member Directory: Disaster Program As a result of the devastating effects of the tsunami in December, 2004, businessman David Campbell headed to Thailand to see how he could help.

This means that we try to come in quickly, but after the search and rescue phase, and fill in gaps left by governmental and non-governmental agencies in clean-up, community recovery and reconstruction projects. Our projects typically focus on the initial 1-6 months following a disaster. * We do not charge a participation fee to volunteer. You get yourself to the project, and in return we provide shelter, food, and a rewarding and unique volunteer experience. You are welcome to volunteer with us even if you choose to stay elsewhere. If you're looking for an easy way to support HODR or engage your friends and family, you can create your own personal All Hands sponsorship page on Firstgiving.com or through Facebook Causes! * Typically, we work six days a week. * Our minimum age is 18 years old, unless accompanied by a parent/guardian. Parents, please contact us at info@hands.org for more information. * All Hands does not have medical capacity and strongly suggests that volunteers acquire travel insurance - it is very affordable and can go a long way in time of need. * For project-specific info, please click on one of the project buttons above. 6 Easy Ways to Get Involved!
