"This is Erykah Badu, I want to share with you a project I'm leading to help children of the Gulf Coast tragedy. In response to the growing needs of the hurricane evacuees, I am asking you to be part of having a direct impact for the victims sheltered here in Dallas. My nonprofit organization, Beautiful Love Incorporated Non-Profit Development (B.L.I.N.D.) is partnering with St. Philips School to provide "Saturday Creative Explorations." Every Saturday, beginning September 17th, the Black Forest Theater will be the location for 135 children ages 6-12 years, from within the Dallas Convention Center and Reunion Arena shelters to come for a day of activities. Under the leadership of St. Philips School their teachers and instructors, we will offer a wide range of programs to entertain and stimulate the children."
