Pure Hope: HODR 2008 Year in Photos - Hands On Disaster Response

Click "Watch in HD" for best quality image.

2008 was a very busy year for Hands On Disaster Response.

The year began with two projects already underway: our earthquake response project in Peru was winding down and our cyclone response project in Bangladesh was just beginning.

In the spring we answered the call to help Gassville, Arkansas and Newton County, Missouri after destructive tornados and in June, when massive flooding struck Cedar Rapids, Iowa, we launched a four-month response through which more than 2000 volunteers jumped in and lent a hand.

In August and September Haiti was pummeled by four tropical storms and hurricanes that devastated an already struggling nation. Our hurricane response, that started in November and continues into 2009, is helping people dig out and rise up.

Whether it was removing rubble in Peru, building a home in Bangladesh, or gutting out a house in Iowa, HODR was there helping families around the world rebuild their lives.
