On November 12, we will partner with KidSave to have the voices of fostercare children highlighted in the postcards as well.
On November 12, we travel to New Orleans and Baton Rouge to reconnect with residents and organizations and learn more about the issues in the area.

We willl need assistance in fundraising, partnership development, program evaluation, web communications, and event planning.
So we welcome ideas and partners on this effort. We focus on New Orleans and Washington, DC were we have contacts as a pilot project then expand.
