While working with Richard from the American Red Cross. Students at the local college university helped the community, homeless and needy. Students helped by supplying fleece blankets, sorted medical gloves, hospital and surgical gowns, and hygiene kits. Many of the people in need of help suffered from problems such as back pain and complaining for the need of a sciatica cure that would help alleviate the back pressure from sleeping on the ground all night long, Many others complained of lack of fresh water, food and blankets to keep warm at night.
On the other hand many people have lost their homes over the years due to natural disasters. Efforts to help rebuild communities has been a large wide scale effort to help the less fortunate. Some companies have offer to help supply many home supplies such as bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Some companies have come to lend a hand in the installation of kitchen sinks and faucets and rebuild torn up bathrooms.
Our community rebuilding projects have led many people to donate much of their time and resources to help the world in need. We have even had the priveledge of local television and radio companies come and document the events and projects that we are working on. One local los angeles video production company has been very helpful in capturing our efforts and bringing in help and community efforts from all around the nation.
Many of our members have been helping in cleanup and disaster relief for many years, traveling all over the world, eager to help those in need. Many of our members contribute by paying for their own travel expenses and travel accessories, however help from our sponsored donations ensure proper accommodation, hotel stay and food is provided on each journey. On one of our more recent programs in florida, some local accomdations were provided by some local miami hotels, in which they supplies our members lodging and and complimentary breakfast.
On another relief project, our members set off into the wilderness, need campaign gear and equipment such as backpacking gear, boots, and tents due to 25 mile hike to a remote location. This 2 week event required many supplies ranging from medical bandages to food and water, which then had to be carried 25 miles. Our team leader said these types of events just would not be possible if was not for the help and donations of our members and our expense management team which helps coordinate the supply purchases, travel expenses and finding discounts from local businesses willing to help.
