Actor-Activist Brad Pitt was on the Today Show with Ann Curry. Brad Pitt was being interviewed by Ann Curry. He told her that he is here because he want to help people who have lost their homes in New Orleans,LA. After his family,helping to rebuild New Orleans,LA is his top priority. "Sure I guess so." he said. "Right now,this is the focus, and we're going to see this thing through. We are going to start with 150 homes as they strolled through the razed neighborhoods which is decorated with the forms of building components - roofs,walls,foundations - draped in dark pink canvas to attract attention to the cause.
He putting his money where his mouth is. Brad Pitt is investing $5 million dollars of his own money for this. He is asking for people's help. He even got a website where individuals can help by adopting a low flush toilet or a solar panel as a Christmas gift to a family that needs a home. He expects to have families moving back to New Orleans by next summer. William McDonough + Partners architects are one of the groups who have partnered with Pitt in the Make it Right Foundation. A total of 14 architects are involved in the team which has developed Make it Right in close consultation with community leaders in the Lower 9th Ward.
Brad Pitt along with Angelina Jolie even brought a house in New Orleans,LA while he was filming his latest movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". I think it is a great thing that Brad Pitt is trying to help people in New Orleans get back on their feet. How many times do you hear celebrities like Brad Pitt doing some great like this? This is a great thing that he is doing this and I think we should help Brad Pitt and the foundation "Make it Right Foundation". help him accomplish his goal.
