Katrina survivors turn to Venezuela for support

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Some survivors of Hurricane Katrina say they aren't getting enough attention from the Bush administration, so they're turning to Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez for help.

Ishmael Muhammad of the New Orleans Survivor Council has visited Venezuela three times to seek funding and forge ties. He says the group hopes to raise $45,000 for a center to house 50 people as they rebuild their homes.

Knowing Chavez, its probably better worded this way:

He says the group hopes to raise $45,000 for a center collective to house 50 people as they rebuild their homes.
