David Campbell Co-Founder and Chair of the Board 2013 Richard Cornuelle Award for Social Entrepreneurship Thank you for an engaging, exhausting, and exciting eight years! This past July, Erik Dyson succeeded me as All Hands Executive Director. In my ongoing position as Board Chair I’ve been able to refocus my energies on several key issues for AHV going forward. • Building up our Impact Fund to $2 Million, benefiting greatly from the 100% match offered on $1 Million raised, from long time friends and supporters (and volunteers) Nancy and Lee Keet. • Capturing the All Hands story, in words and video, through interviews with you – volunteers, donors, and communities – over the next year • Providing support and assistance as Board Chair; the board has grown to 14 dedicated individuals – all volunteer alumni and double the number of just three years ago – and is engaged to support our future plans. You’ve proven that our engaged volunteer model works, not just in Haiti or the Philippines, but in New York City – not just clearing rubble, but building schools and repairing homes. People helping people – when they need it most – remains a powerful force and is the reason why I founded All Hands Volunteers 8 years ago. The needs are clear, and the volunteers are anxious to be involved. We thank the donors who provide the bridge to bring them together. Together we’ve built something wonderful. Thank you, David 04.
Erik Dyson Executive Director While I am new to the organization, it didn’t take me long to get excited about what we do and to see all the great possibilities that lie ahead. In 2014, we will continue the work to formalize the two distinct program areas in which we work – Disaster Response and Disaster Recovery and Rebuild – both in the U.S. and around the world. By reinforcing our commitment to each program area, we will ensure that we are better prepared to provide assistance to communities that have unmet need, and to offer a wider variety of volunteer opportunities for people to help those in need. What is so gratifying is that we have a dedicated, enthusiastic and committed team that is absolutely focused on ensuring we reach our mission of helping communities in need by harnessing the energy of dedicated volunteers. We remain committed to working in more communities around the world, developing more effective approaches to aid, and maximizing donor dollars. We will be in touch frequently this coming year in order to update everyone on our progress. Thank you all for your on-going support. Erik 05.
Superstorm Sandy Response, NY, USA When Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast coast of the US in late October 2012, it wreaked havoc from North Carolina to Massachusetts. Given the severity of the damage and for the first time in All Hands’ history, we launched two simultaneous projects to the same disaster: Project Long Island and Project Staten Island. What started as initial response projects of mucking, gutting and debris removal soon transitioned into an innovative mold treatment program, and now we are repairing and rebuilding homes in both Long Island and Staten Island. Much of this work has been made possible by our partnership with the Robin Hood Foundation, who contributed $1 Million for our Sandy-related work, our largest single grant to-date. Signs of resilience and recovery are all around us, but a year after Superstorm Sandy struck it is clear that this recovery will take several years and our work here is far from over.

“I love that fact that we live in rugged conditions and we put all the money towards the project, towards the houses and the materials we need. That is one thing that I cling to about All Hands and that is why, when I have time, I volunteer with them.” Dan Weissman, Superstorm Sandy

Typhoon Sendong Response, Philippines All Hands’ work on Project Cagayan de Oro (CdO) addressed a multitude of needs. Our initial focus when responding to Typhoon Sendong – the powerful storm that hit the island of Mindanao in December 2011 – was on the traditional muck, gut and deconstruction of damaged homes. Quickly, we broadened our scope and assisted with transitional housing, community tree planting and constructing 216 permanent homes, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. On the heels of Project CdO, All Hands launched Project Pagatpat with a similar goal: to provide the victims of Typhoon Sendong with permanent housing in a safer relocation community. Again, partnering with Habitat For Humanity, we committed to building 88 homes in the district of Cagayan de Oro. A joint labor force of local Filipino workers and a steady stream of international volunteers ensured that Project Pagatpat finished on goal and on time, helping to move those impacted by Typhoon Sendong another step forward on the path to recovery. “This experience has been great because I live and work with friends. Every day is an adventure. We have fun and we build houses.” Marloun Yap, Project CdO and Project Pagatpat

ALL HANDS’ ASIA REGIONAL OFFICE (ARO) In order for a natural disaster to occur two things need to be present: one, a natural hazard and two, a population base to be impacted. On our planet those two situations are most closely linked in the Asia Pacific Region (APAC). Fully 80% of All Hands Volunteers international disaster response projects have been in the APAC. As part of our 5-year strategic plan and because of these recurring events in this disaster prone region, AHV is proud to open our Asia Regional Office (ARO). The mission will be to act as a gateway to future disaster response projects, explore long-term recovery projects and evaluate opportunities to conduct disaster risk mitigation efforts. Having a presence in the region will also allow us to work closely with government officials and other humanitarian aid colleagues when we are not in disaster response mode.

We are excited to expand our global presence and invite you to stop by our office in Manila and say “Macandang araw!”

Tornado Response, Oklahoma, USA In May 2013, All Hands moved into Oklahoma to respond to the devastating EF4 and EF5 tornadoes that hit the greater OKC metro area. Initially we focused on the towns of Moore and Shawnee, helping homeowners remove debris and salvage personal possessions. When the third round of destructive tornadoes hit rural El Reno, we redirected our efforts to the lesser-served farming communities in order to help farmers clear their fields of tornado debris. Thanks in large part to our friends at Southwest Airlines and Field of Teams, we cleared 2,200 acres of wheat fields in Oklahoma! “I have worked on four projects with All Hands, and Project Moore has been significant for several reasons. But it was a particularly amazing opportunity to work on a project where I could both see the impact our work had on the affected community, and know that our efforts made a difference to the entire country by helping to harvest wheat that will one day find its way to our plates.� Jen Weinstein, Project Coordinator for Project Moore

Our Volunteers Volunteers are our heart and soul. They leave their lives behind and come from around the world to help clear debris, build schools and rebuild homes and give hope. Together they work tirelessly in extreme conditions, and what is more, they do it for free.
SUE GLASSNOR Sue Glassnor has been involved with All Hands since it was called Hands On. Usually one of the first to arrive on the scene, she has volunteered on 17 of our 32 projects to-date. Given the knowledge and experience she has accrued on past projects, Sue works as a “first assessor,” spending her days in the field working with homeowners and other agencies to determine how All Hands can best serve the community in question and how to deploy our resources to maximum effect. The warmth, compassion, humor – and often snacks! – she brings to each and every project touches not only those in the communities we serve, but each and every volunteer she meets along the way.

In early June 2013, Southwest Airlines – a long-term partner of All Hands – rallied their employees and brought close to 150 volunteers to help in our Central Oklahoma tornado response. Thanks to their efforts, we cleared tornado debris from over 200 acres of wheat fields and assisted in the cleanup of a house demolished by a 2.6-mile-wide tornado – the widest ever on record – in El Reno, OK. Thank you Southwest Airlines!

Financials In 2013 we saw donations increase by over 140% vs. 2012 due to the outpouring of support for our Superstorm Sandy Projects. The work in Long Island and Staten Island has moved from mucking and gutting to mold remediation to home repairs and we foresee that continuing for at least another year. In addition, we worked in close partnership, with Habitat for Humanity, to build over 300 homes in the Philippines. In the summer, we also responded to the devastating tornadoes in Moore, Oklahoma. In total, over 4,000 volunteers worked tirelessly helping communities that were impacted by natural disasters. Total expenses reached $2.9M, with over 85% dedicated to programs, continuing to demonstrate our strong focus on using donations as efficiently and effectively as possible.
