A special way to help, part II
Amy Dominello is on a bus to Meridian, Miss., right now to volunteer with the relief effort and to write about what she sees and feels.
She'll be filing for the newspaper every day. We tried to figure out how she could blog her report, but Meridian -- 200 miles northeast of New Orleans -- has little power and spotty phone lines. She was hardly in position to do much blog posting or talking with readers. If she wasn't reporting, she was working the relief effort. If she wasn't writing and figuring out how to get the story out, she was sleeping. So we passed this time.
She'll be with local volunteers of the N.C. Baptist Men's group for six days. It's a different kind of report for us. She'll help serve hot meals to those in need, and she'll help us see what she sees there. Keep an eye out for her stories and let us know what you think.
