Day Three–July 10,2007
We are beginning day three of our trip. Yesterday we worked with an organization “Common Ground” in the Ninth Ward of New Orleans. We cleaned housing lots and interacted with some who lived in this area, which took the most direct hit of Katrina. Much still need to be done and we were both hopeful and discouraged by what we saw.
In the evening we had great fun and fellowship as we hosted a group from a church in Ipswich, Massachusetts who is down here doing similar work. Today, we will be working with the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD). Here is a picture of our entire group on the levy where the actual break occurred—at the work site.
