Wow! We’re all excited at All Hands that our very own Project Tohoku vol, Becci Manson, was invited to speak at the prestigious TEDGlobal 2012 Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, about her time with us in Japan.
Here is their blog, recapturing her experience:
Becci has also been chosen by this year’s Stay Classy awards as a contender for their Volunteer of the Year! Please take a second now to go HERE and vote for her in the East region as Volunteer of the Year. While you’re there, be sure to add your vote for All Hands Volunteers in the East region under Disaster Relief/International Aid!

While I really love that Becci’s volunteer work at All Hands is giving some visibility to the organization. I am a bit bothered not to see more recognition to all of the other really hard working volunteers. It is great that Becci was able to use her professional skills at AHV — while many other people with professional skills who were busy digging canals.
