Okay, this is another story of mine. And I have some more in my notebooks…. but I'll get to them later. Well, this is just a short introductory to the story so you can get a little idea of what it's about. And the actual story will come in shortly :D
It was a hot, hot afternoon in New Orleans, Louisiana. The scorching heat from the sun's rays burned everything. The heat from the ground rose up, making a 'mirage' of a sort. Everything was hot, to tops of heads, cars, and anything you can basically think of that's sane...
In one part of New Orleans was a stadium filled with evacuees from Hurricane Katrina. The stadium that was built for the NFL had been converted into a sanctuary; portable beds, pillows and the survivors' personal possessions were scattered throughout the grounds. Many and most of the people had taken occupancy of the audience seats above.
These people had lost everything they've worked their lives for. Of course, the American Red Cross was there to help- as always. Food, bottles of water, and extra clothing had been shipped into the stadium and other places in need also. American Red Cross members handed out these items and also provided many other things, like medical attention.
One small group of seven teenagers from a regular high school in California has been offered a chance to help from the American Red Cross. The community service group eagerly accepted and flew to Louisiana in less than a week after the offer. The American Red Cross needed all the help they can get.
So here they are...in New Orleans, Louisiana...
