I'm in a group at school, it's called YEP (Youth Empowerement Project). There are 16 people in this group and it is dedicated to raising money and distributing it out to people, communities, and disasters. We have raised $500 so far for the relief aid of Hurricane Katrina. I live in Missouri, so I'm not that far away from Louisiana. I've seen pictures and many people have come up here to Branson and Springfield to stay with relatives and hotels. Many hotels here are giving out rooms to those who need them. Anyways, I don't live in Springfield, but I live like 40 miles away from it and I've seen people from Louisiana and Mississippi up here. I wish there was more that a 16 year old could do, but I'm doing everything I can to help. I've donated money from my own pocket and I'm getting this $500 dollars to go to the relief aid. I hope we can raise more, but for right now this is what my group has. So are you guys doing anything else?
