Opportunity Rocks Spring Break
From WaPo, earlier this week:
Even those who usually would hit South Padre wearing Oakleys are putting on old jeans and heading to the Gulf Coast this year to lend a hand to the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort, which in some places is still in the cleanup phase.
With tons of work to do, a diverse group is thankfully heeding the call. For one, there's "Katrina on the Ground," a far-flung effort organized by hip-hop artists, that's recruiting everyone from "community colleges ... to the Ivy Leagues."
U.S. Sen. John Edwards, meanwhile, is leading a group specifically to New Orleans called "Opportunity Rocks".

The event is March 15-19th. It is being in done in conjunction with the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity. Opportunity Rocks and HFH are providing meals, showers, and warm tents for the students.
