A video by filmmaker Aaron Soffin that shows rebuilding in New Orleans last December, four months after Katrina. It is a graphic view of a situation that, a year later, has not changed substantially. Operation Assist: A project of the Children's Health Fund which has mobile medical vans throughout the Gulf area providing primary health care to children affected by Katrina and Rita, and to their families. (Note—Children's Health Fund was founded by my daughter Judith's father-in-law, Irwin Redlener.) Union for Reform Judaism: At www.urj.org/give or www.urj.org/relief, you can donate to either the Reform congregations in the Gulf area or give to a fund for relief in the general community Volunteers of America of Greater New Orleans: Donations can be marked for Ms. Marie Tolbert or Ms. Brenda Williams' Recovery (the two women whose houses I worked on), St. Roch Recovery (their immediate neighborhood) or Resources for Katrina Survivors' Recovery, which will connect with an interfaith group serving the neighborhood. In addition to monetary donations, gift cars for gasoline, or for Target, Home Depot, Sears, etc. are very useful. Volunteers of America of Greater New Orleans, 127 S. Solomon, New Orleans, LA 70119. Women of the Storm: This is an organization with one specific objective—to get Senators and Congresspeople to visit the area. The feeling is that, once officials see how great the devastation still is, they will support effective governmental relief efforts which, so far, have been lacking. A donation is always appreciated, but what they really are asking for is for people to contact their representatives and urge them to visit (at the organization's expense). The full list and more information are at www.womenofthestorm.net .
