Katrina survivor: I was gonna blow myself away - CNN.com: May 9, 10:03am 1 review new-orleans, katrina, reconstruction, rebuilding, people-helping-people
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/05/08/heroes.mccartney/index.html?iref=mpstory...; From the page: "To date, more than 6,000 volunteers have worked with the St. Bernard Project, enabling more than 120 families to move back into their homes. McCartney says every house her group rebuilds has an impact on the community as a whole. "Once you get one family back, other families are willing to come back as well," she says. "There's a very nice ripple effect." McCartney and Rosenburg plan to keep working until all the homes in St. Bernard Parish are rebuilt. "We're here until we work ourselves out of a job," she says." This is what it takes. People helping people, one at a time. It's painfully obvious that governments, whether they be "democratically elected," and I use that term LOOSELY (the US), or despotic (Burma/Myanmar), are useless when it comes to actually doing what most needs to be done.
