Hello Again - Its been 3 days since I have returned and Life is returning to the routine. I miss the folks who spent time helping others and trying to do our little piece of re-building New Orleans.
The St Charles and Rhino staff provided us with a tour of still devastated New Orleans - from Metieare's missing homes and slow rebuilding to the total devastation of homes from the lower ninth ward. When I stood next to the van and surveyed mile upon mile of foundation with missing home while I listened to Larry, our tour guide, speak of floating homes and missing families, I could no longer speak, and could barely hold back the tears for the suffering and loss. Even today, this piece of the tour is hard to describe - just imagining block upon block of missing homes that belonged to someone who can't afford to return....and that many floated from foundations once the levy broke, with families inside.....
What hope RHINO and St Charles bring to even a small portion of New Orleans. I cannot wait to return again and help the victims of Katrina - for what more reason other than they need a hand.... Rob L.
