Third Wave Volunteers are now in full deployment, with volunteer firefighters in Los Angeles battling the fires and our local volunteers doing what they can to assist. This will all unfold over the following months.

Third Wave Volunteers have been disaster responders for the past 24 years and were founded at the Sept 11th, 2001 attacks in NYC by Dr. Alison Thompson.

A brave Australian Dr Allison Thompson joins me from the frontlines in LA where her team is assisting the ravaged communities with food water clothing medicines and support in any way they can.

They have grown to over 30,000 first responder volunteers running large refugee camps, field hospitals, and natural disasters worldwide for the past 24 years (including the Syrian, Afghan, Venezuelan, and Ukraine refugee crises.)

They have worked for the past 4 months in the North Carolina disaster with long-term ongoing work, as well as in Ukraine, and building water wells in the Nth Colombia desert for the Wayuu tribes.

Now they are in the heart of California and Dr Allison joins us for a deep dive podcast with updates insights and an overview of what they're doing and what they need so stay tune @thirdwavevolunteers

Author Ella Ward

What does the world feel like when it’s ending for you, and no one else? What does life feel like when you are running away from it? This is a story that begins in a way you expect and ends very far from there. It is a story of creaking English hallways and vast Australian skies. Of hands that feel like warm sandpaper. Cicadas that sing so loudly they drown out the grief. Of white wine and an old piano and children who want their parents back from the dead. It is a magical tale of travel and mystery. And a very human tale of sex and loss and seawater and the primal joy of coming home. This is The Cicada House.

She has worked in advertising for many years. This means she has a proclivity for profanity and needs help with punctuation. Her words have been published in places like Frankie, Marie Claire and The Sydney Morning Herald. Her memoir, 27 Letters to My Daughter, was published in Australia in 2022 and the US in 2023. Ella lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her husband, child, pets and neuroses. The Cicada House is her first novel.

A Melbourne girl who moved to London and came home with a penchant for pork pies, Percy Pigs and a husband. In 2018 she was hit with the cancer stick, which apart from being rather frightening also encouraged a foray into oversharing on insta.
