  • 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. If your vacation dates are more structured, why don't you contact an agency which runs volunteer programs all the time, you'll be able to make a difference somewhere without driving your boss nuts waiting to find out when you're going. Good luck!"
