Haiti Disaster Response Options and Efforts

G'Day All --
As widely reported by the news media this morning, President Obama has outlined one of the most effective ways that we can respond quickly and effectively to assist Haiti's earthquake victims:

A Community Action Film Festival
|
G'Day All --
BRAVO !! to the increasing number of non-profit anti-poverty Community Action Agencies across the USA that are beginning to develop useful, informative film clips, and making them available to the general public by means of YouTube, Google, or other similar services.
We look forward to more such productions -- especially those providing documentary-type summaries of projects as they are carried out -- from identifying a community need, planning, funding, organizing, staging, and implementing, to outcomes achieved.
Agencies that possess high quality video films from previous years that are not significantly outdated may want to look into the possibility of having such material digitized, so that it can be uploaded to the 'Net without the cost and effort needed to re-create the content from scratch.
You will find the new Community Action Film Festival page in the following section of The Civic Action Free University:
Item 15 on the Site Navigation Panel, i.e.: "Community Action: National Organizations, The Virtual CAP, and On-Line Agencies Across the USA," at:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/civactnet.htm#On-Line_CAAs
Or, you can access the Film Festival page directly, at:
http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/CommActionFilmFest.htm
Two items of special interest -- as seen in the top section, just beneath the LBJ / Great Society clips -- are:
1. "The Shopping Bag Lady," that, as you will recognize, is a poignant dramatic production (not an actual case study) providing insight into the world of a homeless person.
2. "Before the Mountain Was Moved" -- an outstanding award-quality 1969 film about Community Action in Raleigh County, West Virginia.
I hope this material will be of interest. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to share them with the rest of us.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays !!
|
G'Day All --
Just like the holiday decorations in many communities, our greeting looks the same as last year's -- but all of the links have been updated to offer you a "banquet of goodies."
http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/TIGHolidayGreeting.htm
You will find some new film clips (and some old favorites too !!) in the Kilroy's Kaleidoscope section, about two-thirds down the page. Sample one or two each day for the next week or so, and you'll be "in the spirit" in time for the Main Event !!
Among them, don't miss:
The Little Match Girl
and
Peace on Earth
Also, be sure to visit and enjoy the *new* LibriVox Christmas Jamboree section at the bottom of the page.
