Reflections after returning home:
· It was heartbreaking to see how much still needs to be done.
· It is unreasonable for there to be deadlines for folks to be out of their “Katrina cottages” by the end of February or March.
· It was frustrating to not have money for necessary materials to complete some of the jobs.
· It was heartwarming to see the spirit of the friends we have made there.
· It was maddening to feel as though the whole country is ignoring their plight.
· It was good to be able to help some people actually get into their homes again.
· It is difficult to fundraise and to deal with the expense each time we go
· It was hard to leave knowing how much more there is to do.
· It is good to know that our next trip is already being planned.
