I wish more people would publish more photos like yours. It seems most people havent necessarily forgotten about Katrina, but they certainly dont think about it as much as maybe they should.
Yes, it is still very much a complete mess there. Most of my friends are living in FEMA trailers in their front yards while repairing their houses. Thats right, families of 4,5, etc living in one, two bed trailers for over 6 months now. Its simply uncomprehendible until you see it with your own eyes.

I can honestly say that I have never been around a bunch of more grateful and polite people. Wherever we went, people would tell us their life stories and treat us like long lost family.
I was really proud of our group of students... Yes, there was plenty of debauchery and crazyness at the party locations, but when the time came to get dirty and do some work, there was no complaining. Most of the people I went down with are planning on a return trip over the summer.
