So I'm in Mandeville Loiusianna and spent the day in New Orleans ripping moldy dry wall, carpet and nails out of peoples homes. Our crew from the UTC CSC and Central CoC were perhaps the hardest working folks in the city, at least of volunteers. The Tamany Oak Church is doing amazing things here an are an amazing example of what an organized response to the disaster should look like (check it out FEMA, Amer. Red Cross).
It feels great to be here. I felt so ashamed as an American during the disaster. I hope our work here makes some small dent in the enormity of recovering a normal lifestyle here, but they are a long way off from it.
When I get my camera charged I'll post some pics!
Keep us in your prayers..
