As a survivor of the 2004 Tsunami and at that time resident in Thailand, we not only dealt with our own trauma in the aftermath of it, but have seen and experienced the trauma of the Thai peoples. We worked for nearly 18 months in that country on the ground to help people in that context to rebuild their lives and continue to be involved with many workers helping to deal with the unseen and forgotten needs of the peoples in that part of the world. With the recent disaster in Haiti our prayers are with the peoples of that country that are devastated. They not only need all help they can get, but also very specific help and I want to challenge you to an opportunity to send a very capable team of South Africans to help with trauma counseling. The Global Relief Emergency Fund is specifically set-up to send team of well qualified professionals to assist the people in disaster situations to deal with trauma. Please take the opportunity to help Global Relief to send a trauma relief team to Haiti.
