tfdl...ThinkFeelDoLearn... The interplay of critical thinking and emotional clarity leads to effective action. Thoughts, musings, and inklings about our culture and communities, and links to sites worth visiting. Although I am privileged to be a Fellow with The Whitman Institute in San Francisco, CA (www.think4change.org), I alone am responsible for all the content. Thank you for visiting.

Have Skills, Will Volunteer

A new pre-emptive volunteer site, HelpinDisaster.org, is due to launch this Sunday. Individuals who wish to volunteer to help in a disaster will be able to pre-register with the site and then those skill sets can be matched up when they are most needed. The site is sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network. Looks like this may be one way to avoid having kind-hearted, generous folks form just showing up in a disaster area and becoming more of a drain than and asset.
Here are the details.
