new orleans

And now for something totally different! Last week, I was granted an incredible opportunity to travel down to New Orleans to document a community rebuild project funded by Waste Management, in an area called Assumption Parish. This area was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, Gustav and Ike and has received very little funding to rebuild. With the help of the community and Waste Management, we were able to give Assumption Parish it's first community park in over 50 years. I have to say that this experience was truly eye-opening. The people down there were so wonderful and deserving of this park. It was a project that joined people across many different backgrounds to come together to do something wonderful. I hope you enjoy my first blog video! Please excuse the poor quality from the blog!
