Help is on the way...

I came across an interesting picture gallery from someone down in New Orleans about Hurricane Katrina. He took some pictures before, during and after the storm hit. Some amazing pictures.

Thought I would also mention that American Muslims are leading efforts to bring help to the survivors of Katrina. So far American Muslim charities and organizations have pledged $10 million in relief aid. In addition, a large number of groups have come together to form a Muslim Hurricane Relief Task Force, to coordinate American Muslim relief efforts. Besides money, many Muslim healthcare workers are already on the scene providing direct help to the Katrina survivors. These stories, of course, are not as widely reported as they should be...

Didn't know about the Muslim Hurricane response website/team/organization thingy.

MashaAllah, that's awesome!
