Video Tribute to post-Hurricane Katrina Helpers

Posted by Helen on: 06.23.2006 /

An online friend of mine made this video tribute to those who helped rebuild after Hurricane Katrina.

link to movie

His own community was seriously damaged by Hurricane Katrina. I read on IIDB how some out-of-town IIDB participants visited him to help with rebuilding.

He has written about his personal experience during and after the hurricane here: A Humanist in a Hurricane

Quoting from there, this was his focus after the hurricane:

It didn’t take long for me to realize that the only way to bring hope from such carnage would be to follow the Humanist ideals I had studied, accepted, and lived prior to this devastating storm. With others I would participate in bringing comfort, protection, and care right here and right now to those living in need.

I’ll be back next week with more blog entries…have a good weekend, everyone!

    Helen -

    Thanks for posting this. Schlict’s article is very interesting, and helps explain some questions I had – including why atheists and humanists are specifically mentioned at the end of the video.

    Hard to believe that hurricane season has started again… :(

    Yes indeed.

    I agree – I hope it’s not as bad this year.
