I was a tourist who couldn't escape New Orleans and was stuck in the Superdome during Katrina. I have zero artistic ability but did manage a memoir last year entitle "Diary From the Dome". 25% of any profits from the sale of new books are being given to local NOLA charities.

We have talked about reasons for creating art and how Mel Chin is using art to help our world be a better place for them to grow up. Included in our discussions have been hurricanes, pollution and cleaning up our environment, geography, social issues, crops our local farmers grow that can be used to make vegetable oils (peanuts, corn, soybeans, the importance of converting the Fundred truck to an alternative fuel, and much more. From kindergarten to fifth grade, they are really into this project. Since we are a collection site, they are excited about seeing the Fundred armored truck coming to our school to pick up the completed Fundreds. I encourage any teacher to get involved for the many benefits to their students. The Fundred Project has been extremely meaningful to my 650+ elementary students.

It is really beautiful to see how much they want to help New Orleans, not to mention their complete fascination with the armored vehicle and the fact that it will be fueled with oil from cafeterias. I'm currently trying to get more teachers involved and hopefully we will have lots of bills to send in! Being from New Orleans, it is quite touching for me to see the enthusiasm. Thanks to Mel Chin for the idea and leading the team who brought it into being! I’m using the Fundred Project as a way of teaching the students about individual expression within teamwork.
