Ofunato, Japan (CNN) -- More than a month after the devastating tsunami and earthquake that flattened seaside communities across northern Japan, many aid groups are wrapping up operations. One team of volunteers is just ramping up, however. For those wondering what they can still do to help, the U.S.-based charity All Hands has an answer: Buy a plane ticket, and come ready to get to work. "What we do is come in after natural disasters all around the world and help people by bringing in volunteers in the recovery process," said Marc Young, the charity's operational director in Ofunato, a small port city on Japan's northeastern coast.
