Going Home
Recently I traveled to my hometown of New Orleans for the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Every time I return I am stunned by the devastation that remains. Most of my neighbors lost their houses in the floodwaters and, for the past twelve months, have been living out of FEMA trailers. My family was lucky: nobody was hurt in the storm and our house suffered relatively little damage. Yet the memories of what happened to New Orleans – the human error and miscalculation that lead to the levee failures and, ultimately, the loss of thousands of American lives – have permanently scarred everyone.
Yet despite the seemingly hopeless situation and indescribable damage,
New Orleanians remain hopeful – or at least too stubborn to stand idly by while one of America’s most vibrant cities slowly dies from neglect. Locals and volunteers from around the country are coming together to rebuild a new, stronger New Orleans – and they are doing so with the help of many ONE partners, including Mercy Corps, Oxfam America and Habitat for Humanity.
A few days ago my parents and I went to famous Congo Square, the birthplace of jazz, for a concert organized by Mercy Corps. The event brought together the culture and people of New Orleans through music and dance. Over the past manymonths, Mercy Corps has provided direct relief, cultural enrichment programs, emotional support and services for businesses, families and children directly affected by the storm.
ONE’s partners are working every day, along the Gulf Coast and around the world, to provide humanitarian relief, fight poverty and preserve cultures. As a New Orleanian, on the one-year anniversary, I send a big thank-you to the organizations and individuals working tirelessly to restore my home and one of the nation’s most unique and treasured cities.

Agriculture Accountability
As aid agencies warn more than 9 million people could be affected by a food crisis in East Africa, world leaders are failing to keep their 2009 promises to tackle the causes of chronic hunger and support farmers in the world's poorest countries.
