Even as we're coming to the grasp of the horrifying devastation that the
tsunamis have left behind across 12 countries, the relief and rehabilitation
work for several millions of survivors has to be implemented soon. The effort
required to provide safe drinking water, food, medical treatment, shelter
and a livelihood to the victims will be the biggest ever to be undertaken
to date. One of the important resources needed in this massive humanitarian assistance effort are volunteers. Volunteers from both local communities and outside have already begun joining hands with NGOs, local governments and other agencies to deliver relief to the survivors. In our special coverage of the disaster on the World Volunteer Web, we provide a snapshot of what role volunteers are playing in the world's biggest relief and rehabilitation effort to date. These stories, taken from sources all over the world, again highlight the important contribution volunteers make in emergency humanitarian assistance. You can also find out in our special coverage how you can help the tsunami victims through donations and voluntary work. Visit the special coverage section here: http://www.worldvolunteerweb.org/dynamic/cfapps/news/tsunami.cfm If you have any such stories or pictures of volunteers' work in the tsunami-affected areas, please send them to us at info@worldvolunteerweb.org.

Bombay Leprosy
Project Dr. R. Ganapati Bombay
Leprosy Project welcomes needs volunteers to help this NGO, in office
correspondence, computer operations, office administration, fund raising
etc. But
we regret not a single person turned up actually, to volunteer their
services. Such a gesture would have indeed been a service to the community
and to the poor leprosy patients. If this offer were to result in some
social minded persons coming to BLP and offering their services, it
would have meant real benefit to the leprosy patients. The reasons for the failure could be that people are still afraid of leprosy patients and social stigma is strong even today preventing persons to work in a leprosy NGO. May be the society still needs awareness among the common people that leprosy is a disease like any other disease and it can be surely treated and cured. That it is not an infectious disease. Wider
awareness, through publicity in press media, on television and publicity
in the community can prepare the people to mix freely with leprosy patients
without any stigma. May be situation may improve gradually over a period
of time. But
until then BLP will have to carry on its services to leprosy patients
without the help of so many persons who are willing to volunteer but
not for Bombay
Leprosy Project. R Ganapati |
