Reclamation tourism after Katrina

KATRINA UPDATE

For years, FAF has made annual cultural exchanges to a small city just south of New Orleans, Houma, Louisiana. They and several surrounding suburbs of New Orleans, still inhabited, NEED YOUR SUPPORT ... by your presence.

After January and throughout the rest of 2006, FAF is appealing to ALL concert tour and other travel groups: SUSPEND YOUR 2006 TOUR PLANS AND COME WITH FAF ON A RECLAMATION TOUR TO LOUISIANA

These are highly acclaimed, inexpensive, cultural tours within the United States. Cultural tours stimulate hope and redevelopment: your benefit concerts and local presence helps attract media, additional support and perhaps most of all -- uplifts the spirit and the soul in ways where mere food, clothing, and shelter fall short.

Many of you know FAF‘s mission (www.faf.org); some of you have traveled with FAF to the region before:


and all with an ethnic mix of Southern, Native American, Creole, and even Vietnamese: everything that always made New Orleans such a special destination.

Please write for more details and past tour leader recommendations. FAF has confirmed that the local hotels will be able to house participants by January and the communities are eager for the support that your concerts will provide. Join us in Louisiana in 2006: FAF WANTS YOU TO TRAVEL TO HOUMA FOR YOUR CULTURAL OR CONCERT TOUR IN 2006. CONTACT FAF TODAY, Before You decide on just another tour ...
