At this crucial time in our lives, when everything is so desperate, when every day is a matter of survival, I don't think you can help but be involved.

I am interested to work for young children and contribute me as volunteer in natural and environmental disaster impacted areas. If I get scope to contribute for them that will make me more happy. Though, I am always trying to contribute for young children. But, I always prefer the deprived. Children of my country also deprived and affected by natural and environmental disaster. Everybody should work for children affected by natural and environmental disaster wherever they live.

There is another way to help with the more immediate impacts of environmental and other disasters, tailored to the skills and compassion found in early childhood professionals. That is voluntary but no cost service with Children's Disaster Services (CDS), a non-sectarian mission of the Church of the Brethren, www.childrensdisasterservices.org. CDS sends teams of trained volunteers for periods of up to two weeks to Red Cross and FEMA shelters and service centers at US sites of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other natural and man-made disasters. Particularly for those of us who are retired, this service is both vital and rewarding.
