US Peace Corps has a group made up of PC vets with particular skills called the Crisis Corps. They respond to situations like Hiati, worldwide. I am a member, and contacted them the evening of the quake, when I first heard of it (I don't watch a lot of TV). They have been dithering behind red tape, but plan to go "eventually". Hopefully, I can bring you good news. cheers oz, a conservative, but not a sitter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
