The floording in Fargo/Moorhead

The past few days has reviewed the patriotic spirit in Americans to me and i will say, it is just amazing. People in these states are willing to help regardless of their age or status, i went down to one of these sandbagging sites to volunteer and what i saw there was just shocking. I saw over 500 hundred people out there including children helping with the sand bagging and the most surprising one was that i saw the executive director of my working place holding a shovel. Though the flood is not a good thing but i think it is actually bringing some sort of unity and friendship among the residents in these states. I made some friends who were also students from other colleges and universities. One thing i hope for is that, all the other African brothers and sisters who are here will learn something from this altitude and try to educate the people back home about unity and patriotism. It will be very had to get people to participate in a work like this for free in Africa without expecting any form of payment. To every one who help with this flooding in any way i will say bravo and keep the good work up.
