I hope this is the right posting area.
I work for Wings Of Love Homepage based out of Maricopa, Az. I figured sense this forum area was here I'd post up.
This last march I was asked to go down to New Orleans and cook and help out. We stayed at a church that provided beds and showers wash & dryer etc. I prefer to sleep outside, lol. Well it was such a nice time that I decided to join the group permanently.
We provide aid workers and relief workers with food and transportation. We travel all over the world. In New Orleans we didn't only feed regular workers but anybody who came along, and we always had just enough left over for those who walked up. I had met them all last year right after the storm and they called me before they came in March, but I had to stay behind because of a dental problem that almost separated me from my bike.
So I will be going to Az, in a 15 or so days. Here is a link: Wings Of Love Homepage if you think you would like to help or just show up in a month or so and we can go ride somewhere as I don't know anything about the area.
Our director guy (Mike) has some kinda sea-fairing license so he can captain very large boats. So going over seas now and then is a very high probability, I cook and some other stuff, but it really doesn't matter if you have a specific talent or not as their is always a way to help here and there. Personally I think cooking and odd jobs are fun, almost like building a fort as a kid, sometimes we also have the chance to build stuff. Like a concrete wall around a orphanage in Haiti, etc.
So I hope you check out the site and stop in sometime for some grub and a ride.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
