If you want to be part of the rebuilding of New Orleans and the area around it for the sake of all the displaced people, then go to this web site and choose the best way for you to get involved: http://www.friendsofneworleans.org/mission/.  You can also go to this site and see how others are making a difference and follow their progress, volunteer or donate. http://www.katrinasangels.org/.  On the network for good, you can learn more ways to help and stay involved, and you can learn how to organize in your own area, to make a difference for these people. http://www.networkforgood.org/topics/animal_environ/hurricanes/  Also, if you have the time, the strength and the energy, you can call Habitats for Humanity like we did, and make arrangements to help build or rebuild a home in New Orleans and the towns around it.  You don’t have to know how to do anything.  When you get there, they will show you all that you need to know, to hammer, saw. paint and participate.  The feeling you get when you help to make a home where there was nothing, is so amazing, that it will change you forever.  Do it!! Get involved and make a difference in someone’s life.  Thanks for caring and for posting.
