Today we are going to New Orleans and to start it off we had a Great pankake breakfast this morning.



We visited the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. We saw the house being built by Brad Pitt and his [|Make It Right] Foundation. One of the residents, Robert, whose house is currently under construction was preparing for a birthday party. Today would have been his grand daughter's 7th birthday but she died in Hurricane Katrina. The family remembers her every year with a party and special shirts. Robert is still living in a FEMA trailor while his house is constructed. Robert shook each of our hands and thanked us for volunteering. He said if it wasn't for the volunteers they would not have a house being built. This is similar to a message we heard from a Hurricane Katrina survivor last year.
