New Orleans - The Update

Monday, July 24, 2006

We had quite the experience down in New Orleans last week. Five of us (Kristyn, Melissa, Nathan, Kevin, and myself) set out on a journey we will not soon forget. Unbelievable really. We met some wonderful people. We worked our arses off in unbearable heat, gutting houses that were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina almost a year ago. We saw things we will never forget.

Here are some links:

Kevin's blog posts: 1, 2, 3.

And here is a video we made (and showed on Sunday night at The Freeway) of our experiences:

    Wow ... the pictures in the video were definately "worse" than I was expecting. I wonder why they don't show that on TV? I wonder why they aren't getting sent the amount of aid that they need ...

    Thank you SO MUCH for coming to New Orleans and helping. It means so much to everyone here. You bring hope and love with you, and with those we will survive these dark days.

    Words can't express what we experienced in N.O. I am grateful I had the chance to go... and the chance to meet some folks from there (some of the friendliest, most encouraging people I have ever met).
