We're preparing to send at least one more team to St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, this year. This will be our church's 9th organized group to help in post-hurricane recovery efforts over there. Most of the previous ones went to St. Bernard, with one sent further east to Pascagoula, Mississippi. The volunteer coordinator at The St. Bernard Project anticipates the rebuilding efforts to continue for at least 5 more years. She said applications for assistance are still coming in, at a rate of about five a week. Another reminder that although the press may no longer have this on its radar, there's still work left to be done...now 2 1/2 years after Katrina.
