Volunteer Indonesia Earthquake

When I travelled, I always had a survival bag and a 'space blanket' (really thin silver plastic sheet thing which is designed by nasa or soemthing stupid, but only cost $2).

Luckily, I never had to sleep outside. When I was trekking, our guide was worried we wouldn't make the town by nightfall and that he wouldn't be able to pick out the trail in the dark.

I could not get him to explain why he is afraid of the woods in the dark. We were not in Maoist country. To my mind, the danger would probably be some wild Yak going on a rampage. But as our distant ancestors discovered, animals do not like fire.

For sure, I know my english woods are not at all dangerous. Your only danger there is from a mob of drunk teenagers who've found some fireworks. But I know Nepal doesn't have much dangerous wildlife, because the guiode told us this before, and the climate is very much like home- indeed, aside from monkies and Yaks, the natural world could have been in England [if a bit closer to sea level]

So I do wonder at this. I do not fear the woods by night. I have tools to make fire, and knowledge about making fire. I have shelter and warm clothes, and I can figure out which plants to eat sometimes too. I am suprised my guide cannot do this.

Dear Sir/Madam,
First of all i will like you to kindly extend my heartfelt participation in the suffering of the dear populations struck by the tragic event and also the entire country.
I am very sad to hear about that tragedy and feel a sense of responsibility to help in the very little way i can. i will like you to help me enlist as a volunteer in any organization that can guarantee the safety of foreigners.

I am going to attend a trade fair in Indonesia on the 27th/10/09 to 1st/11/09 and will like to take that oppurtunity to help victims of the earthquake while i am in Indonesian,i feel bad that my stay will be for just 3 days but i hope to make a difference.
Please kindly help me get an organization that is willing to take a volunteer for 3 days, Thank you.
