New Orleans, LA - Summer education and after school programs, day care centers, and arts and sports programs for youth received a boost today with the distribution of more than $600,000 to nonprofit organizations in the Gulf to hasten their recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
The humanitarian relief organization Mercy Corps, in partnership with the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, announced today the 39 awardees of their Youth Recovery Fund, which was created following a study by Tulane University's School of Social Work that identified a serious gap in youth social services."

Three carloads of volunteers from the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Program headed out to work in the exclusive neighborhoods in Gautier Tuesday. Some were from the Finger Lakes and others from Frankfort, Ky.
Among them was Lyons school custodian Chuck Galusha, who helped with roof repairs and other general construction tasks."
