Camp Katrina: Day 3

More drywall, less sweat. The houses that we're working on are progressing well. We're building relationships with each other and with people we've met here. We've all had the opportunity to see more of the destruction here and hear stories from the previous year. Everything was affected. Houses completely washed away. Lives lost. Memories that once shown proudly on walls have been relegated to the mind. There is hardness and even hopelessness in a few. But there is more hope. Lives are coming together again and gaining momentum. I thankful for the opportunity to share in what is going on down here.
