Getting started

My name is Steve Graham. My wife, Christine, and I will move to St. Bernard Parish, La., next week to start an extended volunteer stint rebuilding homes destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. We hope to provide a glimpse at life in this area full of hard-working people struggling to rebuild their lives after a tragic catastrophe.
I spent several days in the area in April, and was inspired by the people and the extensive need in the area. It was also wonderful to be around hundreds of other volunteers. I have been anxious to return since then, so I am excited to get back.
We arrive Friday in a co-op house, and we start construction work Monday.
Thank you for reading our blog. Email me with questions or comments, and come join us in this effort.
