Today we returned to the ninth ward to clear up some more yards in the same area that we were yesterday. It was incredible to find things still laying in the yards; stuffed animals, dishes, cd's, movies, clothes and old appliances that had been there since the flooding. It's sad to know that these belongings were recently used by those living in the ninth ward and how they lost everything so quickly.
We worked from 9 until 2 and then met up with Katrina to go to the St. Bernard Parish community center to prepare a meal and help around the center. We arranged donated clothes and made ravioli. We talked to a volunteer there and he told us his story of the hurricane. He described the hurricane as nothing short of catastrophic. You can check out the website at www.ccstb.org for more information.
We just returned from the parish and are all pretty tired! Tonight we might hang out around our house or go to a nearby acoustic cafe. Tomorrow we will be painting a house indoors because it is supposed to rain.
