I repost this from TALO group by a guy called Alex not sure where exactly
he is from ?
*Crossed answers(?) Re my previous reply, itīs OK now. The thing is if SP
government doesnīt endorse, then there are no military aircrafts & the cost
of shipping is crazy; and if the Ch govrn doesnīt publicize aid is accepted,
that deters people & would be associated with Myanmar. Immediate relief
requires very specific items so the most straightforward is fundraising to
then send the appropriate stuff, but this requires a higher degree of trust
than in-kind. Sounds lousy but itīs how it works, at least here.*

*Tomorrow Iīll get back to you (local holiday) with more info. By the way,
would you be OK for an email interview? Could you hang a video somewhere?
And jot down a few lines about yourself and what you want to do addressed to
an educational/academic audience? Iīll try to get it published. A personal
appeal is always more fruitful. *

*In the meantime I think TALO could give a hand longer term, i.e., when
international relief aid finishes and reconstruction begins (?) E.g.:
Survivors will continue to need psychological assistance to cope with
mourning and online guidance/coaching for local professionals could be
helpful. Kids will need houses, schools & materials, etc. Entire new life.

*Cīmon, folks, donīt you think we could try to build a resource database
(docs, contacts, ideas
) which will be helpful in 3-6 months?! They will
need years. I hardly know anything about China but itīs worse not trying.
Iīm submitting a proposal to introduce the China earthquake as a study
case/project at masters level to combine learning with a real purpose.
Could you do something similar, or in one class?*
* **Alex*
**I felt amzing by what Alex has brought into attention at TALO , he is
talking about something exactly what China need most and maybe it is
something WE can do it together by using its great commuity here ,we need
expert on Psychology and technology support but I determined to help Alex to
do this while I am still struggling with my own paper also .
any comments ?
