When u belong to a community like New Orleans all u need is hope and support, Those of u from 3rd world countries know what I'm talking bout, Many organizations come and go, So it means a lot when some stay and help u after the camera's have Gone.
Haiti is facing the same problem. U barely see them on the News anymore,
If it wasn't for Wyclef trying to run for President i wonder if we would still be hearing about the pple of Haiti.
If it had been for the Gulf Oil Spill would New Orleans still be in the Spot light.
