  • On Myanmar Disaster Relief – Volunteer Vacations Can Help, Jen said " If you're frustrated that you don't have a response yet, I can understand. Right now the agencies are still dealing with a lot of paperwork to get into Myanmar. However, once they are in, they need names and applications on file so they can call on you when they are ready to go.
