HOW TO GET INVOLVED

Join Us

We are rebuilding communities lost by the tsunami using fast, creative solutions that will save lives. An important part of this thinking is how we are organised for the most rapid response. To keeps absolute costs as close to zero as possible we are soliciting donations of time and expertise, we are piggy backing on existing structures and we are directly connecting help with need. This thinking will be applied to fund raising and on the ground.

As a result, in addition to raising funds we are seeking donations or discounts on other requirements such as airplane tickets, freight, telecommunications, web hosting and arms and legs for fund-raising and ultimately re-building. If you would like to become involved beyond just donation of money please join us. We have plenty of things to do and will welcome all contributions.
