UPDATE 9/9/05

We are getting our computers and generators ready to go next week. We also received a generous donation of two satellite phones for evacuees to use to call friends and family. We also have been given a house just outside NO to use as a base of operations for EBS and other grass-roots organizations. We are in daily contact with folks organizing aid in and around New Orleans. We will not be traveling with the Pastors for Peace caravan because they are heading to Mississippi but we may bring some of their extra supplies (cargo space permitting) to NO/Algiers area. We still have space for one or two more activists interested in helping with this project. We are still in need of folding tables and laptops. All equipment can be returned after a month or so to those who allow us to borrow them. We are hitting crunch time and we need more gas money and all other communication/computer donations.
