New Orleans
by timIf you have been reading my blogs, you will remember that earlier in the winter I was collecting bikes to send to New Orleans. To be honest, I had forgotten all about New Orleans. As most people have I am sure. If a subject is not in the Medias best interest for grabbing the attention of the public it is not covered. Let’s face it, to the big media the Katrina – New Orleans soap opera is old news to those selling ad space. Fortunately there are some people like my new friend Merle who have not forgotten. Unfortunately New Orleans has been forgotten about by the main stream.
I received eighteen bikes and I was able to revive fifteen to send to New Orleans. I took so much joy in this project. In my heart knowing each bike could be a catalyst to change some young person’s life. I prayed over each bike in hoping it would carry the person riding safely it to a healthy and happy life.
I was forwarded some photos of the group that received the bikes. I wanted to share with everyone. I have added them in above. I have no idea how to create just a folder for them. So here they are, some very beautiful young people with bikes that I hope will carry them into their future.
