How does one get involved with relief work. I am a Canadian who is not in a position to help financialy but would certainly be willing to lend a hand helping at the various sites ie0 help clear depres-search and resue,rebuilding etc.
Who do I talk to or is there a place I can sign up? Is canada sending volunteers?
