Once again we are seeing volunteers come from all over to help pitch in and aid those who have been impacted by the disaster. They bring food, heavy equipment or just many hands to sort through the rubble of what was someone’s home. They retrieve the most basic of things that can be salvaged, household goods, clothing, photographs and mementos.
Many of them say that they do it because they cannot just stand by and watch. Some are paying back the kindness that was shown to them when their regions and towns were hit by disasters. Others are perennial volunteers who serve via a whole host of volunteer programs focused on disaster relief.
To all of them we say thank you!
