Day 3 in New Orleans

Today we met up with another of Rich Ryan's contacts. Jon is part of a group that rebuild houses that have been destroyed by the hurricane. He introduce us to some of the residents that were able to move back into there neighborhood because of what him and his volunteer group has done.
Some of the residents told us their stories of what happen to them and what the did you save themselves from the storm Hurricane Katrina. They were so sad. An elderly man had to break through the roof, and an elderly woman had do be saved by climbing out of her kitchen window.
Later in the day my group went to Algiers. It is as area that is apart of New Orleans. that area has some beautiful houses.
