I am assisting survivors of the 7.9 earthquake which rocked Western Sumatra on 30 September, 2009 with Hands On Disaster Response (HODR) The earthquake damaged over 200,000 homes and survivors now struggle to remove rubble and erect shelter as the rainy season quickly approaches.

HODR is a US-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization, that provides hands-on assistance to survivors of natural disasters around the world, with maximum impact and minimum bureaucracy. By supporting volunteers with housing, meals, tools, and organized work at no charge they are able to provide free and effective response services to communities in need. Their programs are directed by the needs of each community in which we work, ensuring a timely, relevant, and culturally sensitive response. You can find out more about them at www.hodr.org

If you would like to follow my progress please check my blog; http://ash.im

Any donation would be a great help to HODR and help our response to the disaster.

Thanks

Ash :)
