The Katrina Corps–Modus Operandi
“By the people, for the people” means “we can fix this!”
This grass-roots effort is born to transcend the pitfalls and barriers of bureaucracy with the energy of a generation waiting to create the U.S. of the future. It is a transparent, hands-on operation of volunteers based on the work ethic and passion of acting on that which needs doing. The reward for participation is not based on incentive and compensation, but instead on a social model where “by the people and for the people” becomes the model for the future.
New Orleans families and Katrina Corps volunteers are the stars of the effort. Any external catalysts are there to recognize and validate the role of each family and volunteer. Their effort will be the embodiment of Muhammad Ali’s powerful insight that “IMPOSSIBLE is NOTHING!”
“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men
who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given, than to explore the power they have to change it.
Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare.
Impossible is potential.
Impossible is temporary.
IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING.”
