Kalypso’s New Orleans

Apr 7, 2006 by

This is a 12 minute video by a ten year old girl who goes by the handle of Kalypso. It is a wonderful view of both the positive community aspects of carnival and also the sheer destruction and devastation of our home city.

This is one special ten year old. She has done a better job than many of the “journalists,” from the masss media. Must be due to the triune graces of honesty, innocence and lack of profit motive.
