You mentioned you wished more celebs would use their good fortune for good, well Operation Kids and the Brees Dream Foundation is doing just that. Updates and news about their progress in New Orleans can be found at http://operationkids.wordpress.com/.<BR/><BR/>Operation Kids and its partners are currently working on a deal to build several new playgrounds in New Orleans over the next few years. They will be having the first ribbon cutting beginning of Jan if you are interested. And they are announcing their partnership tomorrow. Exciting stuff.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00387951671668559175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36835627.post-63460828330169380812007-12-07T11:31:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:31:00.000-05:00Jessica, thank you so much for your encouragement, I wish more celebrities would use their fame and money to make the world a better place.

I know Unicef is near and dear to your heart; it's so appropriate that a Unicef banner is now featured so prominently here. I'll also never tire of hearing celebrities who choose to use their fame and fortune to help others. Thanks for the post!<BR/><BR/>p.s. Not sure if you've seen the holiday cards at Hallmark stores that help Unicef raise funds. Great designs, too! K.Sustenance Scouthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12980573661955592633noreply@blogger.com
