This trip has been amazing. The people who were selected to participate in the ASB are not just people anymore they are family to me. New Orleans has opened my eyes to so many problems the world faces such as: injustice, corruption, destruction, but most importantly faith and the kindness of strangers. What happened after Hurricane Katrina destroyed a community with so much culture. United Saints in a non-profit organization that helps out the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Even though five years have past there is still so much work to be done. On Wednesday we helped scrape the paint of Mrs. Michelle’s house. It was so hard to try to take the paint of without digging into the wood. While we were working on the house Mrs. Michelle came for a visit and thanked everyone for doing this. I found out earlier that Louisiana has a law that if you do not fix or sale your house it can be taken by the state as their property. It made me feel so good inside knowing that something so small could mean so much not only for Mrs. Michelle but for her family and generations to come.
