Hey guys,

I know it's been awhile, but I wanted to welcome you all back to another big year for volunteering and sadly, hurricanes. Unfortunately, already the United States has been hit by several hurricanes, including Gustav and Ike. I just wanted to attach an article published by the New York Times that discusses the feelings and scene for residents returning to Galveston for the first time in almost 2 weeks.

As you can imagine, it is not a pretty one. You can find the article and some pictures here: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Ike-Galveston.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

It is so sad to think that these people left one day and came back almost 2 weeks later to find almost everything they have destroyed.

We will keep you updated with more info as we find it, but if you don't have full winter break plans, please keep us in mind as there is definitely a need for help in Texas and along the Gulf Coast.

Also, if you do have plans and can't volunteer, keep Galveston and the Gulf Coast in your thoughts and encourage others to donate to the red cross, and other relief organizations. I know times are bad for the country right now, but imagine if everything you owned just got wiped out in a storm. With a $700 billion bailout likely to be coming from congress, the economy is hard enough as it is, let alone if you are attempting to start from scratch with nothing (or almost nothing).

Again, please keep us in mind for winter break and please keep Galveston and the Gulf Coast in your thoughts.

 

Thanks for staying involved.

Stephanie
