Freshman Year Experience Service Learning Project

Spring Break Missions ‘06 New Orleans, Louisiana

On March 10-18, 2006 Sixty students through the Baptist Student Union embarked on a journey to help bring relief to hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans, LA.

The sixty students were split up in four different teams. Here are the Red and White teams working together to degut a home in the 9 th ward.

Here are some images of the devastation caused by the hurricane.

This is a view into a two story home that was affected by the breaking of the levees. You can see the water line along the wall.

Our teams worked from eight o-clock in the morning until five in the afternoon. It was a lot of hard work.

Our team is suiting up to work for the day. The mold and fumes in the homes were dangerous, so we had to wear protective suits.

We were able to give hope to those affected by this disaster. It was an experience I will never forget.
