The way to join a volunteer group

From where should I start...?

Well, now my thoughts with people in the North.
I'm always thinking about what I can do for them...

On 23th of April, I joined a volunteer group and went up to the North to serve dishes for a shelter.
I have been working for German TV since the earthquake happened.
I frustrated myself because I just sit on the chair and was stuck in front of TV.
I think I saw much more sad stories on the programs than the others but I couldn't do nothing
for people in the North.

In the middle of April, I quit the German TV and finally had a free time.
Soon after that, I tried to find an opportunity to do volunteer in the North.
Famous NGO like peaceboad and Unicef recruited volunteer works but it was already fulled.
Then I tried to find a group on twitter.-entered word "Minami-sanriku or Ishinomaki" "Recruit" "Volunteer".
There were some group which recruited volunteer works.
I found a group and sent a message.
"I would like to help people in the North. Can I get ride your car and join your group?"
They planned to go there on 23th and I contacted them on Thursday.
I got a positive response from them soon.

The group called 'Gakutsuna'. It means connecting students and the North.
They drive to the North every weekend with relief supplies and workers.
Some work only on the weekend and come back to Tokyo.
Others remain in the North for one week to work and they will pick them up in the next weekend.
This is their concept.

I've never met members before but my strong wish drove me to join them.
I can say everybody can do volunteer work if you really want to help people.
I'm happy to help you to find a chance to do volunteer in the North.
Let me know if you want.
