Audio A's Hands and Feet Hit Gustav Territory

From CmCentral

While the U.S. is bracing for Hurricane Gustav, the carribean is just
beginning to clean-up after this massive storm. Audio Adrenaline's Hands &
Feet Project (link: www.handsandfeetproject.org) Children's Village is
located in Jacmel, Haiti -- the city in which Gustav first made landfall.

The Project took quite a blow, as they received more than 25" of rain in 24
hours and were hit by a mudslide. The flooding and mudslide were nothing,
though, compared with the eight feet of rock that proceeded to tumble down
from the mountain, destroying two of the Project's homes as well as it's
main storage depot. Everything stored inside the building --from clothing
and diapers to food and tools-- was a complete loss! Mark Stuart (AA's lead
singer) and his father went down to Haiti this morning with a Civil Engineer
to take inventory and to look at solutions for clean-up and future
preservation.

Fortunately, ALL of our staff and children are safe. Unfortunately, they
--36 children and approx. 10 staff-- are all living in the one remaining
undamaged home. The Project has been devestated, though not beyond
repair. What is needed now is helping hands and prayerful hearts. If you
