Excellent idea Len and Ceci. You can count the Keenan Group in too. We
will also offer pro bono services with quick turnaround on draft
materials. In addition, my staff will offer graphic design consult free
of charge for agencies serving people impacted by Katrina.
I don't know who to contact, but am most willing to roll up my sleeves
to pitch in.
Best,
Jann

Subject: [NIFL-HEALTH:4785] Help re/ Katrina
Dear List-serv members,
Perhaps there is a way for the special skills of list-serv members to
help
the victims of the hurricane who are now in need of relief from a number
of
public and private agencies.
Based on the NALS survey, it is clear that many thousands of victims,
who
have limited literacy skills, will have to cope with complex and hastily
designed
instructions on how to get aid in many forms.
Would it make sense to offer our services gratis to the many helping
agencies
to assist them to design their emergency instructions and forms so they
are
more understandable? (I know that Ceci and I would be willing to give
same-day
e-mail turn around to any draft material that is to help with their
services.)
What do you think? Who should be contacted?
best wishes,
Len and Ceci Doak
