Hands On Disaster Response.

This is a video of part of what i was doing in Sumatra. We pulled down houses, whilst removing any salvageable materials and then once the house was on the ground we would then remove any other reusable materials and give them to the family. With a clear foundation to build on, a temporary house was constructed to give the family a residence until they have saved up enough money to rebuild their lives.

A house like this only costs $1000 and can be used for several years by the family. In the event of an Earthquake, the house is designed to be very stable and any damages can be very easily rectified rather than having to rebuild the whole structure.

If you would like to help out this organization, either by volunteering and doing similar work or by donating money please visit www.hodr.org There is a lot of information on their regarding all of their past projects, defiantly worth a look!

They are doing a lot of good work in Haiti and need as much support as they can get.
