In a matter of days we've created a site dedicated to lining up volunteer groups to go into the Gulf Coast to help with clean-up and rebuilding. There are hundreds of thousands of people displaced and many are without the ability to rebuild. WeWillGo.net will be a virtual 'Staging Area' to assist in matching organizations with the volunteers necessary to get the job done. Our initial partnership is with Habitat for Humanity. We will be working with them to recruit groups to sign up and plan a trip this fall and winter (and throughout 2006) to go in and rebuild homes.
This effort is important because the immediate efforts going on now are the first wave. It will be vital that relief groups and private citizens step-up to form a second and third wave of support.
It is our challenge to you to spread the word about 'WeWillGo.net' and tell people to Get a Group! The site has more information about our efforts as well as banners to add to your blog or website. In addition we have a FAQ page with specific instructions on the process. Our site will provide you with promotional material as well as forms to begin signing up your particular group. Please visit now and begin spreading the word. We are NOT taking funds at this time because we believe the funds must go to IMMEDIATE life-saving needs. We aim to operate the site and connect volunteers with opportunities at no cost to anyone. This is our way of contributing to the cause at hand.
We believe this site has the potential to enlist thousands of compassionate volunteers to aid in the recovery of the Gulf Coast region.
