26164: RE: Davis on Katrina and Haitians

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: "Davis, Karen" <kdavis@marygrove.edu>

 Bob:
It strikes me that some of the displaced folks in New Orleans & environs
are Haitians or Haitian-Americans, some of them without available family
to help, who might want to find placement with Creole-
speaking families or communities. Can you think of a way we could help
coordinate such offers? I am sure people in various cities--Detroit,
Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, etc. would help once people are able to
travel? Just a thought. Maybe you or someone else on the list has some
ideas.
Thanks
Karen
