# Immediate Relief and Cleanup in Gizo? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands
dawnteele 17:31 UTC 03 Apr 2007 | Over the past 8 months I've been conducting research on reconstruction after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. I was all set to hand in my paper and call it a day when I read about the Solomon disaster this week. I would like to go to Gizo to help with the immediate cleanup and disaster response, but don't want to go without an organization that can use me, as I also don't want to take resources from the people in need. If you have any contacts of orgs in Gizo or Honaria, or of people that I could get in touch with, so that I can be of service, please email me at dawn.teele@gmail.com or reply to this thread. Thanks.

He is posting up to date information from local internet stations, churches etc. The Catholic and Uniting churches have been badly affected, and would also be a good place to start. | 1
