I just returned from New Orleans on a mission trip with twenty other students from Coe this spring break. The power that a trip like this can have on a person is beyond belief. If you take the time to listen to the community of New Orleans they have many powerful words to share and so much trust and hope for what little they have and how much they have been through. The little things that don't go just right in life don't matter so much when you witness a place of such devastation. What hurt the most was that I was in Biloxi two years ago and when I went down this last week I was expecting a dramatic change. A community starting to rebuild instead I saw some areas that were partially re-built and most areas that looked like a hurricane had just went through yesterday. I was very disappointed and frustrated at what had NOT happened in the past two years. I am still trying to understand why. When I first got there I was furious but after a few days I realized that all I could do is work my hardest while I am down here try and come back as much as possible and most importantly come back and tell America that the south is far from being rebuilt and they need our help. Much of the city looks like a third world country and that should NOT happen in America. Therefore I want to spread the word that devoted volunteers and leaders are needed to help rebuild because the people need you and appreciate every nail that is put in and every board that is put up!
