HELPING KATRINA'S VICTIMS, VOLUNTEERS
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Since Katrina raked devastation along the Gulf Coast, so many
people have volunteered time and money to ease the suffering of
the people and speed the recovery of this region. From afar,
though, it's difficult to see how our checks and care packages
are really making a difference.

Then, last week, I got an email from a dear friend, a social
worker in Massachusetts, who decided to go to Houston where she
could work directly with victims of the storm. Almost daily,
she's sent first-person accounts of the humanity - and the chaos
- that she has discovered there, and I have posted these stories
to my personal blog (http://cshipley.typepad.com) so that her
insider's view can find a wider audience. Posting the entries
seemed to me to be a simple way to help those of us beyond the
borders of Texas and other most-impacted geographies to see the
unfiltered reality of post-Katrina life, and perhaps to discover
ways that we can help, even if from afar.
