How a language can help for a Hurricane Katrina victims? Well If you think big you will have the answer. America is the home of millions of immigrants and refugees who are speaking several language. For example having a multilingual event ad will have a greater impact to raise money for the victims than a plain English ad. Please see an Amharic fundraising letter/event notice/call written to the Amharic speakers in San Diego

National S and S weekend September 17 and 18, 2005.

What is the purpose of this web site? The primary goal/purpose of this web site is to raise donation for the hurricane Katrina victims. The name used to be Refugee to Refugee why it is changed now? Because we want to avoid controversy but want to focus on helping the people who need help. Currently most of the victims and others do not like to be called refugees and we accept their request and we call them Survivors. For us they are heroes and heroines How do we raise money? At this time our primary focus is initiating and coordinating fundraising activates among ethnic, religion and community organizations all over the nation. We will help them to announce their events (before and after it happened). Also we formed a team by group of volunteer translators across the globe. The team is called "Katrina Translators Team" . The translators are willing to donate part of their translation project income generated from this web site to the victims. If you have a translation project let us know.
