UAE Call to Action: AUSTRALIAN WILDFIRE Relief Effort

[Guest guest]

AUSTRALIAN WILDFIRES

March 21, 2009 NEWS: CALL TO ACTION

 

Once again the amazing power of the internet, and all our interconnections have

enabled us to network this call to Action (feel free to forward).

 

We are mobilizing to help out with the teams already working for the Wildfire

Relief Effort. The Australian Practitioners Emergency Response Network (APERN)

exists to help frontline emergency workers fulfill their duties in an

emergency/critical incident and to support volunteers and victims in a caring

and compassionate way. The blog:

http://therapistsunite.blogspot.com/2009/02/hands-on-health-and-apern.html. It

emerged from the events of Black Saturday, the 8th February, 2009 when extensive

bush fires in resulted in over 200 deaths. APERN is still in its formation

stages and they are all volunteers. In addition Hands on Health Australia or

HOHA http://www.handsonhealth.com.au/ aims to assist communities to improve the

delivery of health and other services to marginalized people, utilizing the

resource of community volunteers. They are looking at setting up 7 community

clinics. At present some clinics are running and others are still in progress.

Some communities around Whittlesea are only just returning to their homes to

begin the rebuilding stage. There are 7000 people still homeless and living in

tents, having survived one of the worst tragedies. (News links on the UAE site

if you need a reminder.)

 

Supplies (respiratory blends, relaxation, clinic supplies like towels/base oils,

etc) can be sent to Tuesday Browell (tuesdaybrowell) 424 High

Street, Echuca, Victoria Australia. 3564 mobile ph is.0428342957.

 

In addition Ron Guba/Essential Therapeutics in Melbourne is collection donations

for oil supplies if you want to purchase local supplies toward the Relief

effort: visit http://www.essentialtherapeutics.com.au he will see your purchase

is mixed into respiratory blends, or other useful products and delivered via the

above organizations. Ultrasonic diffusors would be great for the seven clinics

if someone wants to contribute those, contact Sheriar Irani in Sydney

www.subtleenergies.com.au

 

This is a great quick way we can help rather than sending our own supplies.

 

Thank you in advance for any support as we mobilize globally to help out when we

can. Please feel free to forward this to any other lists or organizations, and

other caring aromatic friends.

Hey Sylla,

 

I'll post this at Aromaticsage.com as well. IF when I uploaded my FrontPage

cd it wasn't too corrupted. Hopefully it will be up within the hour.
