Disaster Relief Experience (New Orleans & 2+ months in Haiti) & Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness Managerial Skills & Experience Communications Skills (listening, verbal, written) Computer/Technical Literacy with strong background in marketing and graphic design Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing Multiple Priorities Problem-Solving/Reasoning/Creativity
Goods Offered: 
Due to my recent endeavors while working in Haiti I have established a network of supporters. This network would be loyal to my good judgement and thus the organization or team that I join.

I would like to do anything from administrative work for an organization to rubble clean up in the streets. I do have some expenses so I would prefer to find a full-time paid position but I won't let that keep me from being involved. All of my work to this point has been unpaid. The only real reason that I am even seeking some sort of compensation is because I personally sponsor a couple of families in Haiti and they depend on me.

I am 48 years old (woman). I have worked in the electricity buisness for almost 30 years now, most of the time as a director for the consumer department. It has been my dream for many years to volunteer in country where it is needed but because I'm not a nurce or with much school education, I did not try until now. Learning from books is not everything, I have experience in many things and I have a lot to give that matters.

In many ways can I help. I love children ( I have 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren) I can help the older ones also, just be with them and do things for them /with them what they like and can do. There are so many things I like to help you. I just want to help. I don't know how things are there now, just what I see / hear from radio and TV. As I said before, I can help in many ways so I hope to hear from you. I have a good heart.
