OUR CHARITY

In August 2006 Lisa Spiegel and her eldest daughter went to New Orleans to build houses for victims of Hurricane Katrina with Habitat for Humanity. Here is her account of the start of the project:

"Building houses for victims of Katrina was a profound experience. Hearing the stories of pain, courage and faith from the families who were going to be moving into these very houses was inspiring. A Soho Parenting project was born. Fundraising began to give money to the community for parent-child activities. In January 2007 I returned to the town to provide ongoing parenting and psychological support to the families. Though these families are lucky enough to have received homes, there is a shocking lack of mental health support. We all know how hard parenting can be in the best of be in the best of circumstances. In the summer of 2007, Soho Parenting returned to offer an arts program for the children and counseling for parents. I wanted to continue a connection with these families to support an ongoing arts program and group activities for the families. Our goal is to continue to lend any kind of help and develop a long-term relationship between Soho Parenting and the families in Gray, Louisiana."

Plans for summer 2008 are already underway.
