REAL REPORTS OF KATRINA RELIEF: Eyewitness, politically charged,
on-the-ground truth telling from New Orleans
by Naomi Archer

The locally-led, mutually based community relief effort in Algiers is now
being called Common Ground Algiers. Currently, more than 40 volunteer
medics, doctors, cooks, communications technicians, community organizers and
concerned people are directly involved in the Common Ground collective
effort. Emergency services that have been created include a community
garbage pick-up program; mobile kitchens to provide free hot meals to anyone
in the area; a first aid clinic in a local mosque and a mobile first aid
station staffed by doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians; and
bicycles for volunteers and residents to transport aid around the area; and
the development of a free school for children.
