Like most of America, I've been watching the saga of Hurricane Katrina unfold over the course of several days. Now the levees have broken, leaving massive flooding on top of that directly caused by the storm. I've been really quite stunned and horrified by what I've seen and heard. Such devastation and destruction have left me at a loss for words to effectively express my thoughts on this disaster.
We need relief for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. There is a need for much flood aid.
What I can do is urge every reader to help. Give what you can to the charity of your choice. I'm recommending Samraitan's Purse and the Humane Society to offer relief to both man and beast.
On a personal note, I suspect that I'm going to be working directly with refugees from Katrina very soon. Many of the children displaced by the hurricane are now here in Texas -- and they will be appearing in Texas classrooms soon. I am sure that some of them will be entering my classroom, as I teach only half-a-mile from I-10 on the east side of Houston
