Last Friday I received an email from RoseCharities Canada, with a query whether I would be able to respond to a request from the Samoan government for assistance with grief couseling stated as part of their 5th Government Release of the Tsunami Event.
I am leaving for Samoa on Thursday, initially for a week to do much listening and hopefully get some insight into the need for ongoing Trauma and Grief counseling and counseling training and maybe support workshops for relief workers.
AMDA japan is generously funding my airfare, with many thanks to you all!
Will Grut from Rose Charities Canada and New Zealand has been very supportive and I hope I can be of service in some little way
I am intially going for one week and intend to report back as soon as I return home
