Kamp Katrina



When I arrived in New Orleans and needed a place to sleep, the wind blowed me to Mrs Pearl.

Mrs Pearl lives i the Bywater, this wonderful neighborhood of New Orleans, she's native american, but more than everything she's a child of the universe.

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on august 2005.

Many people became homeless because of this incredible strength of the nature.

When she came back to New Orleans, around the 15th of september 05, Mrs Pearl opened her house to displaced workers, she and her husband David welcomed people they didn't know, because they thought that when somebody needs help, anyone has to give what he can.
They wanted to keep their neighborhood alive...

They put tent in the yard, they let people sleep in the living room.

Now almost 3 years after the hurricane, their house is still opened to everyone who needs a place to live.

Few weeks ago police came to her house and told her that she couldn't house people in the yard, quality of life is not reasonable they said...
So is that better to let people live in the street?

Some people lost their house because they were not able to fix it, the government took their house, some people who just own a house but didn't have money to fix it became homeless.
Why did the government took these property, what's the reason?

Mrs Pearl is really somebody incredible, she welcomed me, shared her life with me, she helped so many people,...
I wanna say her thank you and I wish that solutions will appear fast.

A movie was made about her and Kamp Katrina, this movie won an award and is called: Kamp Katrina.
you can see some part of it on:

Mrs Pearl needs some help, to feed the resident of the house, to be able to build small houses in the backyard, to fix her house that was damaged by the hurricane.
If you want you can bring her some food or send her some money.

She needs also help to let the truth appears to everyone,
if you wanna film or report about what happens, you can contact Mrs Pearl at:
orleansbywater@aol.com

You can directly come to see them at 712 alvar str

or call: 504 948 0166

I just wanted to thank the sunshine.

Sebastien,
It is Patrick (From the church at the ULL campus). I searched for some information on the Three Capes Park in Oregon. I found this information. Apparently I was mistaken about the name. It is a scenic drive that covers three state parks. Here is a link to some information: http://pacificcity.org/3capes/drive.html
I trie to post a map of the area for you but the blog would not accept it.

And a link to some info on Crater Lake Oregon:

Patrick

I will say congratulation and admiration for what ou are manifesting at every moment of your life. Keep yourself into such a creativity being the creator of your life with gratitude into the 3 B's: le beau le bon et le bien!you discovered the secret, by the way I strongly recommend you to watch the movie called "THE SECRET"about quantum physics in US. it will bring to you new information on top of what you already discovered and it will help you to manifest even faster your dreams.

this is also a link to a beautiful piece of information on the powers lying in the brain:

A neuro-scientist named Jill Taylor gave a short talk at TED that was probably the most profound depiction of the "deep right brain experience" that I'd ever heard. After her talk, the vibe of the entire conference changed - people were more open, deeper, clearer. Truly remarkable. This video just went on-line today. There is an essential message here for all humanity on acknowledging just how closely connected and related we all are.
