There is much to celebrate this year in New Orleans. On every block we would see homes that were repainted and being repaired. People were moving back to their homes. There is still much work to be done. Many homes remain boarded up, which means that they may at some time be repaired and occupied. Streets are in sad shape, but road construction caused us to detour on our way to the job site and as we toured the city. Road construction is a good thing! We leave feeling good about what we have done and the lives that have been changed by UCC Disaster Response . We leave knowing that the work continues and that this wonderful community will survive and overcome a disaster that none of us could ever truly comprehend. –Linda
