2008 Service Trip to New Orleans

Seventeen students are headed to Louisiana on March 10 for a weeklong service trip during the University’s spring break week. In this blog, students share their thoughts and experiences during the trip. Students will assist residents who are rebuilding by supporting the Community Center of St. Bernard in Arabi, LA. They’ll be found sorting donations for distribution, building a laundry room, helping with data-entry, and cooking and serving meals to the local community. At Common Ground Relief, a grassroots project in the lower 9th Ward, activities will include repairing and rebuilding damaged homes.
