"If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else." --Booker T. Washington
Common Ground
Common Ground, a health clinic in Algiers New Orleans, that has grown from the compassion of strangers determined to help a community largely overlooked in Katrina's wake, is putting down roots. Responding to activist and founder Maluque Rahim's call for help, people with medical skills from all over the country have responded which means Algeirs residents no longer have to travel far to see a doctor. The volunters have decided to stay, for as long as the community needs them.
