well i want to do some sort of relief fund for the CA fires b/c i live in MS where Katrina hit, and i think it would be nice to give back. my high school is only about 400 students, so i know i want to get other schools involved to help and a few other active students in my school to help me with this, but i dont know hwere to start. and i think we are going to send the money to the school. and maybe if this is really succesful, we may get someone to sponser us to go there and actually help with the recovery. but i need to know where to start with the relief fund.
i also want this to be HUGE..
not just a few hundred dollars,
like 10 thousand dollars
because maybe we could cover 2 or 3 or more schools.
i want this to be huge b/c i want to say that we made a difference in our community and b/c i think this is a good thing to help with.

start with getting people to donate money to help the victims

My suggestion is that instead of money, send school supplies, clothing, food, and comfort items over. Do you remember right after the hurricane hit? It wasn't money that we wanted or needed; it was stuff to live with.
Hold a drive of some sort. Get it okayed with the principal, then put a box in every classroom asking for clothes in good condition, school supplies, or whatever. See if you can get it announced every morning. Get with Student Council, BETA club, SADD, or another volunteer group in your school to help sort the good stuff from the bad stuff and pack it up.
Good luck wherever you are from Pass Christian.

that's a robust question. i assume its approximately who concerns. Over Thanksgiving i became into in New Orleans. We went to the ninth ward in the time of that weekend and that i'm able to inform you that's a devastated section- good blocks are uninhabitable; piles of debris in the streets and in years, the orange spray paint exhibiting the survey date, the style of deserted pets and persons alive and ineffective. i don't think of one homestead in a hundred is liveable...and it is over 2 years after the flood. those persons had no one to communicate up for or care approximately them. It makes you ask your self whether that community could desire to be rebuilt, or became back into marsh lands.
