Openworld Relief

Empowering communities affected by natural disaster

[openworldrelief-blog]

These are strange times for sure, an amazing amount of heartbreak, loss, stress, and anxiety. But at the same time we look at the beautiful things that this global pandemic has led to; communities supporting one another, new innovation, an increase in people wanting to help others, the planet getting a reprieve from the carbon footprint of major industry, and many others. We work to adapt our mission, our network, our logistics, and our volunteers to keep everyone safe, protect the folks we serve, and still maintain operational effectiveness.

OpenWorld Relief flew in the traditional Christmas Eve dinner for Cherokee, the 73rd one in a row. The little things post-disaster can help people begin to regain a sense of normalcy. So happy to be a part of this tradition and continue our work across #abaco (at Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6f86ORjlPO/?igshid=60sv3lqna74i

Even in the midst of disaster we must pause to see the absolute beauty of nature. This is one of many “blue holes” across the #abacos that reach 300’ in depth. These natural wonders hold the keys to ancient eras of the planet. It is an honor to serve the human needs of all kinds while planning sustainable infrastructure projects to keep this amazing place beautiful. - www.paypal.me/openworldrelief - - - - - #bluehole #nature #sustainability #resiliency #help #humans #love #hope #teamwork #honor #openworldrelief (at North Abaco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-RKPcDClk/?igshid=lmadj56j97vz

This was an amazing and humbling experience! We are so honored to welcome this new asset to Marsh Harbor and the Marsh Harbour Volunteer Fire Department, who we have been working with since we arrived. They now have double the capacity with this and the assets that we have been working on repairing. So many people have made this possible and we are honored to be a part, a special huge thanks to the Temple Terrace Fire Department from #florida who made this happen! - www.paypal.me/openworldrelief - - - - #assets #fire #truck #marshharbourabaco #abacostrong #firstresponders #love #teamwork #community #volunteer #openworldrelief (at Abaco Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pRCQoDq59/?igshid=1ey15fyhpu6w4

Yesterday we visited one of the hardest and heavily impacted areas in #abaco that we have seen, with a high remaining population density. The largest issue by far was access to clean water, this is what we went after. We deployed a 1000 Gal water bladder which we filled through our mobile water truck and we also distributed two-bucket water systems equipped with @sawyer_water_filters to all of the families we met. - Help us keep providing these critical resources: www.paypal.me/openworldrelief OR www.OpenWorldRelief.org - - - - @sawyer_water_filters @ig_gov_japan @craftsman - #bahamas #water #drinkingwater #basicneeds #distribution #help #give #community #openworldrelief (at Marsh Harbour, The Bahamas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3_-zZ5DHp_/?igshid=weom224twkto
