Following the fires earlier in the month Aussie Farmers are urgently in need of help. BlazeAid is setting up camps with the first to start on the 5th February at Laharum in the Grampians, Victoria. If you have time and want to do something really worthwhile make your way there. You do not require special skills and no one is going to get knocked back as there is always something to be done, from stores, clerical, cleaning, entertaining and of course fencing. You will get three square meals a day and have a great time. People who give of their time to help others are good people so you will be in good company.

I will be starting in SA just after Easter but I am committed till then.
Blazeaid is one of the best ways to help your fellow Australians in need as well as know that YOU have helped constructively, you also will able to talk and hug the people you are helping and get the thanks and love we all crave. One of the best feelings in the world and even though it can be hard work (If you want to ) it gives the most gratifying enjoyment that you wont get anywhere else.
There are tasks for everyone. Just answering the phone calls and talking to the farmers when they come into the base to register or seek help to meeting the new volunteers and being back at the base each night as the volunteers return for their night meal and a drink before retiring fo the night, and believe me that bed looks great after working on a fence line each day but you are content with life and will get fit and brown and leave with a glow in your innerself, and also you join our great Blazeaid family that now spreads all over the world as I have good friends I have met from over seas.
Just do it and find out for yourself, give a day or a week and see if you can leave when you first planned LOL
Regards
Brian
