Dear Friends,
Thank you ever so, much for your compassion, your quick responses and support for this group. New Orleans has learned valuable lessons and created valuable, grassroots resources from Katrina that we are being called upon to share with Haiti. Like in the days after Katrina, this is just the beginning of relief & rebuild.
As a note, we must make certain we, in NOLA and Gulf Coast, maintain individuals to talk with about our feelings regarding the occurrences in Haiti. Watching others in traumatic situations and participating in relief efforts often, draws up unhealed wounds or re-experiencing of events. We can and must support Haiti but we also, must tend to ourselves in the process.
In solidarity,
~Jennifer
