Amazing video, I just returned from the PDA camp this past weekend. I was there with some of the people in your video. It was an amazing experiance, I am looking forward to going back in 6 months.

I just returned from PDA camp this weekend too. What state were you from? I am sure we bumped into each other.

Great video. I love the music you chose. Thank you for visiting my videos. I have a website dedicated to Hurricane Relief. I myself have made three trips and am currently planning my fourth. I would like to put something up about the PDA and your visit. Check it out and email me if you are interested. Wendy Frost

Have you ever put something up about PDA? I am headed down again on October 19th with my church. There is about 16 people. I cannot wait. Keep us in your prayers and let me know how your return trips were.

They are on HWY 604 just past the curves as you enter Pearlington from Hwy 90.

Again, Thanks

Thanks for all your efforts to rescue the people of Pearlington from the disaster of nature. My parents live in Pearlington and are now back in a home due to the loving efforts of so many people like yourself. Your video captured the "story" beautifully. God has shown us all that His presence is all around. The people of our country seems more like family than inhabitants. May God continue to bless you.

Thank you for your comment. God has blessed me with that opportunity. I am so happy to hear that your parents are back in their house. We need to remember the lessons learned from Katrina and that we are all one "family". We don't have much in the way of disasters up north, so we feel like we need to help those who are affected. What part of Pearlington did your parents live in?

I found this video via annspade and all I have to say is I think it's great what you all did. It is much appreciated, not just by the victims, but everyone else.

Such a devastating disaster and poor government response (still.) We need to be reminded that we must help each other.

[Tford75]

Yeah.. thank you.. Most people forget when it is not current news.

Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Regardless of what people may say or think about Americans, in times of crisis, we are all one giant family. Good job! :-)

[Tford75]

Thanks. I agree totally. I have such a connection with the people I worked with down there. I plan on going back in October this year and February next year at least. It would be great to see them in their home.

[annspade]

That was awesome. You all did a beautiful thing! Nice footage, too. And nice work on the vid! :)

[Tford75]

Thank you. It was a blessing to be able to work with those families. My editing skills still need some work I think. Maybe one day I will make videos as awesome as yours. Thanks for the comment.
