Volunteer Letter: Josh
Dear Katrina Corps,
It’s been a while since I was down in N.O. with you, gutting houses over Spring Break. In the months since that memorable week, life at school and abroad as been as busy as can be. I never forgot, however, the sights that I saw and the stories that I heard while in New Orleans.
Just the other day, on ESPN Sportscenter, I was watching a short program about last year’s New Orleans Saints football team, and they flashed on the screen a picture of a ravaged house in the Lower Ninth. I took the same exact picture of the same exact house from the same exact angle while I was in N.O. Seeing it on the TV like that was a forceful reminder of my own experience.
Just today, I finally had the opportunity to look through all of the pictures that I took. I haven’t been back since Spring Break, but I’m certain that Katrina Corps is still working admirably to do all that they can for those who, when the hurricane hit the city, lost much that we others take for granted. I urge people to help in any way they can, and I commend Katrina Corps and its volunteers for doing so already.
Sincerely,
Josh
