All Hands Volunteers
All Hands Volunteers is a U.S.-based, 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Founded in September 2005, All Hands provides relief to residents in areas affected by natural disasters in the U.S. and internationally. It is based in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.
==History==
The organization that would become All Hands Volunteers was co-founded on September 6, 2005 by internet entrepreneur Darius Monsef and businessman David Campbell after the pair met in Thailand, where they had both gone to work in the aftermath of the 2004 Sumatran tsunami that killed an estimated 230,000 people. Many arriving volunteers found that they were being turned away by established charities, resulting in a group coming together to perform basic tasks, such as clearing debris and building shelters. The pair, along with Pete Kirkwood and Mike Cegielski, two U.S. citizens then living in Thailand, created HandsOnThailand, which brought more than 200 volunteers as well as several hundred thousand dollars to aid in the rebuilding of five Phuket fishing villages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alfred State holds 103rd commencement )〕
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the pair joined with other HandsOn volunteers to establish HandsOnUSA, setting up an operations center in Biloxi, Mississippi within days of the storm. The organization signed on 1,500 volunteers, providing an estimated $2.5 million in volunteer time. HandsOnUSA worked on demolition and construction in the city, as well as clearing away debris and making space for the trailers supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The group remained in Biloxi for five months. In January 2006, the group turned the project over to Hands On Network Gulf Coast and changed its name to Hands On Disaster Response (HODR), launching their next recovery project in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in May of the same year, following the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake.
In August 2010, Hands On Disaster Response changed its name to All Hands Volunteers to avoid being confused with other organizations with similar names.〔
