Can-do is currently in the process of putting together a proposal outlining the creation of Temporary Turn-key Communities which we feel are necessary for various communities that have been affected by the Hurricane Katrina. These communities will provide all the necessary civil services for day-to-day life as relief and reconstruction efforts progress into the future. Beyond civil services, these communities will host job fairs, seminars, workshops, trade training opportunities and other services to help individuals address their employment situations and look ahead toward sustaining their future.

Writing this from a cubical in San Leandro, CA, headquarters of The North Face. I have been working first hand with Eric and his teammate Dave Oppenheim on getting the product donations out of our warehouses and into the affected disaster areas. These guys are abosolutely amazing! Within a few days of logistical coordination and frenzied phone calls I am now looking at the product arriving in Slidell. It’s incredible to see the efforts being made getting this stuff to those in need. It’s one thing to wirte a check but a completely different and more exhilerating experience to see action taking place. Eric and Dave-thanks so much for your tremendous and tireless efforts. And thanks to my employer for allowing me to make this happen.

I am sitting in my truck trying to put into words my experiences and it is not easy…The devastation here is hard to process and given my location right now and the lack of sleep I will do my best…

We landed in Houston, Texas on Sept. 7th. The next day we rented a truck, packed it with supplies and set out for New Orleans. To see it on News is one thing but to actually witness such devastation in person is indescribable. Read more
