New Orleans. The huge fan is fighting against the mold and the punishing heat of New Orleans. On a big sign hanging from the structure of the bare building, a message proclaims: “I must make a difference for myself, for my family, for my town, for my country and for the world”. The kids, who welcome Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner that afternoon, echo the message, singing: “Something so strong inside me. I know I can make it”. The two Hollywood stars came to New Orleans to try to draw the attention on the plight of the Katrina kids, who are finding it hard to come to terms with the what they had to go through after Katrina devastated New Orleans at the end of August 2005.

In May 2006, tim mckulka and jean-cosme delaloye spent a week in New Orleans covering the plight of the Katrina kids. You can look at tim’s picture by clicking here.
