I am planning on heading down to DR sometime this week to try and help with the relief efforts. I am not currently aligned with an organization there, but will be bringing resources to help out and to take with me.
Does anyone know if I would be able to find volunteer work after I deliver my goods. If not, I plan on flying back into the US after that. I would love to stay for a while if I could be of assistance to another aid organization.
I have read many stories of people just jumping on a plane and going into Haiti without being prepared. This has caused a strain on some relief organizations. I do not want to be part of the problem there. I only want to help if I am needed.
Also, I was hoping to procure relief supplies in DR to send into Haiti. Are the stores and wholesalers in DR overwhelmed, or would I be able to get these things easily???
Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated...
