Good News on the Katrina Front
Here's a great story coming out of the Katrina aftermath.
Proving virtually no one is too young to help Katrina survivors, three boys set up a lemonade in the Houston area that raised $1,005.20 in just two days.Twins Christopher and Joshua Gohlke, age 9, and their friend, Jordan Todes, 6, started selling their lemonade and cookies Saturday for 50 cents each at the corner of Southwyck and County Road 94 in Pearland, Texas, reports a special hurricane weblog run by the Houston Chronicle.
"We were amazed," said Christopher and Joshua's mother, Nancy Gohlke.
"People just started stopping and giving them $5 bills and not wanting the change," she said. "People from Louisiana would stop and tell them how much they appreciated what they were doing."
A little self-reliance, a little entrepreneurship, and a lotta' heart can multiply our efforts.
