Our home for 7 days

We spent two days clearing the lot of a retired veteran
who was unable to maintain his
garden and lawn due to the build up
of debris.

One day was also spent filling sand bags to prepare the camp for the upcoming rainy season.

celebrate Reed’s birthday!

Thursday, we all helped set-up the 100th new playground in the Gulf Shore area. The effort was led by KaBOOM!, a not-for-profit company that pledged to build 100 playgrounds under the program entitled
“Operation Playground”.

The 100th playground and KaBOOM! were later featured on Good Morning America.

Friday afternoon we drove into New Orleans.

We had a tour of the areas most damaged by Katrina’s storm surge, including the Lower Ninth Ward. An Episcopal church was started using the building of an abandoned Walgreen’s. It was called All Souls Anglican Episcopal Church because in Katrina’s aftermath, everyone was welcomed to worship.

Just over half of New Orleans residents have returned home since Katrina and therefore many of the homes we saw had been abandoned since 2005. The trailer is the home of the first Ninth Ward resident to return after the storm.

Pete Nunally of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana was our tour guide of the New Orleans destruction. He serves as the Mission and Volunteer Coordinator for the Diocese. He specializes in helping the elderly take advantage of the disaster relief offered as well as works to coordinate construction projects for those in need.

Some homes have been re-built while others in the same neighborhood only have the skeletons of their foundation remaining.

Others have received more help than others. Above is a makeshift shack and below is a Katrina Cottage.

A major milestone for the city of Bay St. Louis is the reconstruction of the bridge which connects to Pass
Christian, MS. This link is key to the city’s commerce.
