OPERATION SOUTH EAST ASIA By Rich Sharp

As a response to the disaster in South East Asia, and the need for a coordinated approach we are looking at establishing Operation South East Asia here in the UK. Already established in Finland and in the US, there are now hundreds of volunteers globally. The organisation will raise funds, and send both aid and workers out to the disaster area in the coming months and years.

To set-up Operation South East Asia in the UK needs dedicated people, willing to put in voluntary time to help with the relief effort. This could take the form of simply organising fund raising events to coordinating the logistics of sending aid and volunteer workers overseas. Whatever you feel you strengths are, and what level of commitment you are willing to put into it.

We would quite literally setting this up from scratch here in the UK, as they have in Finland and in the US. They are both much further down the road than we are in the UK, and time is of the essence to establish the organisation here in the UK. Sam and myself are taking the role of UK Coordinator for the organisation, and we are looking for other people willing to help here in the UK. If anyone is interested in becoming involved in what is a globally coordinated relief effort then please get in touch. operationSEA@gmail.com
