We arrived in New Orleans and visited Presbyterian Disaster Assistance office & UNWNOP in the Upper 9th Ward.
The destruction in New Orleans and surroundings is astounding. Unimaginable. Eighteen months after the disaster, there are many many areas, block after block after block, entire neighborhoods, empty, broken and desolate. Damage is wide and deep.
Who were the people who lived in these houses? What are their stories? Where are they now? What will be done with their homes? With these streets? With these communities?
As we drove through the upper and lower 9th Ward, there was a sense of numbness and an overwhelming desire to do something...anything...to help.
More later...
