I think it was discussed here somewhere that at some point it would be great to head north and try and help in some way for the many people up there that have had their lives shattered. In helping out the CMAT crew that was on the scene for a week or so doing what they could, I got a real sense that if we can help we should. The CMAT guys left me their generator, as they could not transport it back on the plane. I have a workshop full of tools and some know how in carpentry, electrical and plumbing, as well as welding and car/motorcycle mechanics. I would be very willing to head north with a van fully stocked with tools, some materials and some muscle to get stuff done.
I have no idea how this would come about, who to contact etc, but I have a desire to do this, so I'm hoping this thread could work as a place to toss around ideas etc, contacts too.
I've also heard the idea of getting any donated bicycles repaired and ready to go and taking them north, their gasoline shortage problem will be fairly long term I think, and I'm sure a lot of bicycles got destroyed in the tsunami. We could also head north with tubes tires and other parts and just fix existing bicycles.
The floor is open, suggestions and comments are welcome.
Cheers!
