Rebuilding New Orleans...One Step at a Time

Over Spring Break 2006, I traveled to New Orleans, Louisianna with a group of college students to do Hurricane Katrina disaster relief work. For the week we were there, we worked to gut out multiple houses in the city. We also got to talk with the owners of the houses and basically work for them to prepare their destroyed homes for rebuilding. I could not believe the destruction I saw throughout New Orleans even months after the hurricane came through. It opened my eyes to what a long process the restoration of the city will be, but also made me realize that the job can and will be completed one step at a time.
