The Tumwater Teens Spring Break Volunteer Trip: Our first day of work: April 4, 2011

Here we are in the Lower Ninth Ward working on Brenda Dupre's home. Most of the day was spent priming and painting the walls, or doing some drywall. We looked at the house next door - untouched since Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. St. Bernard Project has rebuilt over 350 homes so far - more than any other nonprofit in the New Orleans area.
