List of items to be collected to aid the victims of Hurricane Katrina

Following is the list of items that we are collecting to aid the needs of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Remember that there are several organizations by which you can make monetary donations or of another kind.

We are going to concentrate on three basic types of elements. Write down the next list and pass it on to family members, friends and co-workers, in that way we will be able to show our solidarity to those that right now have absolutely nothing:

- TOILET PAPER (any kind and format will do)
- DIAPERS (any type and for any age, also for adults)
- CLOTHES (any kind and for any age)

Lets remind that the persons receiving this donations have limited access to water and electricity, so lets try that any clothes that we donate will be ready to use and in good conditions, this way we will alleviate a little the worries of those affected by this storm.
Let us also have in mind, that the situation that the people affected is facing will not be over in the short term, they have being displaced from their homes and works, so lets plan to donate this elements on a regular basis, at least for the next three or four months. And also communicate it to as many people as possible so we all can have a constant flow of supplies to send to the affected areas.

In short, we will publish in which way and manner we are going to collect donations.

Please get in touch with us through the e-mail to let us know that we can count with your participation, in collecting some of these elements and in letting others know about this campaign.

We are really thankful for your assistance and collaboration. Visit this website regularly to receive the latest updates.
