Other volunteers can help too -- lab technicians, logisticians, water and sanitation workers, and transport workers. Volunteering means more than time. It means risk. Ebola is highly contagious. Health professionals have already died fighting it. But if there's any group of people that would consider taking this risk for their fellow human beings, it's our community. I and others on the Avaaz team are ready to take that risk with you, traveling to the front lines of this crisis.

From: Ricken Patel – AvaazSubject: People vs. Ebola - thousands volunteering!
I can barely believe it - thousands of us have volunteered to risk our lives at the front line of the Ebola crisis, including hundreds of doctors and health workers! And you have to see what the volunteers are writing -- it's beautiful.
