Hello I want to volunteer to help the tsunami victims...I understand the Austrailian Government has a program where they will pay the volunteer's wages and perhaps even a bit of a wage. I am an Army vet, was a medic and trained in relief efforts. I also have served as a volunteer three times in Chennai, India; Wast Africa, Viet Nam, Fiji and Mexico. So, I am well versed in SE Asian Culture and speak a tad of Tami land Hindi...most of all, I ahve alove nad understaning for the people and am interested in halping as God sees fit.
