Check out this website for "Hope Has a Face Foundation". Guy's former colleague, Keith Canfield, left his job as VP of Marketing for PIC to start this foundation whose objective is to locate donors and secure funding for post-Katrina rebuilding projects on the Gulf Coast. The web-site explains the type of project he is focusing on. He will shortly be bringing out an up-market catalog of projects that need funding and will be mailing it nationwide. He also is setting up interviews on TV talk shows around the country as a way to bring attention to these worthy projects. More power to Keith - worth spreading the word about his web-site and its objectives!

I was amazed by the news the other day that Google had bought YouTube for $1.6 billion. It caused me to visit YouTube for the first time - and I found it very additctive. I was happy to find there a recent music video from our long-time Brazilian friend, Glaucia Nasser. She is developing a singing career, and this video clip (Balanco Zona Sul) is the most-played song from her second CD, Bem Demais.

We spent an enjoyable weekend in Raleigh last weekend, visiting Anna and Chris, Nicola and Andy, as well as Jennifer who was also visiting her brother and sister; the whole family together. Main reason for going was to check out Chris and Anna's very nice new home that they have just bought. You can see some pictures of their new home here.
