Katrina Relief Trip, January 2006

These are photos from a trip twenty-one of us made from Amherst, Mass. to New Orleans during January 1 through 9. We spent two days driving down, five days working, and two days driving home. It was an amazing experience. The devastation is tremendous, and large areas still don't have electricity. If you haven't been there, please consider going down to help.

I will be reorganizing this gallery in the coming days, adding photos from other participants, and selecting a small set of the best photos. Stay tuned...
