Hands On Disaster Response is now All Hands Volunteers

The information you have been waiting for is here! We have updated our volunteer info in an effort to help you make your way to Rayenda, Bangladesh.

You will have 2 options (via boat or bus) to complete the last leg of your travel from Dhaka. There are advantages and disadvantages to each method, but as of this writing we are recommending that you consider arriving in Rayenda by boat (launch or the Rocket steamer). Please read the downloadable guide we have compiled and make your own decision.

The information flow is an ongoing effort. Toshiro Kida (TC) is here and he has provided a great deal of information on Dhaka lodging and bus travel. We would like your input as you make your way here to help the people affected by cyclone Sidr.

See you soon!

Hands On Disaster Response is excited to announce the naming of its Bangladesh effort, “Project Rayenda” and has located a space for its volunteer center!
