Oxfam America Responds To Hurricane Katrina

HURRICANE KATRINA SPECIAL COVERAGE

From Oxfam America:

Hurricane Katrina Relief and Recovery
http://ga0.org/ct/T7qrJns18mnY/

Hundreds of thousands of families are attempting to recover from
the storm that left massive devastation in its wake. Together
with our local partners, we are now assessing the situation to
determine where our help is needed most. Coastal flooding may
have caused severe damage to farmers fields and fisheries, for
example, jeopardizing the livelihoods of the communities with
which our partners work.

Please make a contribution to help with our response and
recovery efforts.

Ask President Bush to support increased funding to the United
Nations Emergency Reserve Fund
http://ga0.org/ct/Y1qrJns18mnl/

Last week we asked for donations to help support people
suffering through the West Africa Food Crisis. This week we ask
for your voice. Click here http://ga0.org/ct/Y1qrJns18mnl/ to
send an e-mail to President Bush asking that he strengthen the
UN Emergency Reserve Fund. Perhaps we can prevent a crisis like
this from ever happening again.

In just one week, you helped us raise $130,000 for West Africa!
To help nomadic people endure the crisis, Oxfam is funding
livestock purchasing programs, which help herders keep money
flowing through the rural economy. Food voucher-for-work
programs help others feed their families while carrying out
useful community projects.
