After the tornados in December a number of us donated to Operation BBQ Relief to help fund efforts after the weather played itself out.
My son is writing an essay for a scholarship application through the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum. The requirements are for him to write about an event, either local, state or national, where people pulled together and helped each other, making a difference in their communities as a response to disaster or some other adverse event.
So I had the idea of him writing about the efforts of Operation BBQ Relief and how people on the ground responded to that. Lots of us donated, we didn't have the time, ability or opportunity to participate, but I thought maybe he could interview someone, say either via email, phone or even a Zoom call, and get some answers and inspiration, a few quotes, etc.
It would be great to be able to talk to a couple of people, maybe someone on the national level who can speak to the organizing efforts, as well as one or two on the ground who can share some stories or experiences.
Anyone here willing to help a high schooler out in gather material for his essay? This is due in a couple of weeks, so we thought maybe sometime next week we could get something put together.
Thanks!
