I was lucky enough to have the chance to be in St Bernard from Sep 06 - Apr 07. I drove out from California and stayed at a church in Arabi. We ran a food line, gutted and worked on houses, and basically did whatever we could for the residents there. We showed this video to every volunteer group that came down and always had people in tears. I cannot describe how amazing, loving, and determined the people of St. Bernard are. I learned so much from that community/family that I will never forget.

These videos are so hard to watch,I don't think that you can ever get over it,especially if st.bernard parish is all that you've ever known.

I was just on a mission trip down there AUG 3-11 in ST. Bernard Parish working wit hRandy from Adullum Christian church, and i had such a life changing expreience after i helped gut the home of Reisie who just moved into their new home they build after Katrina... They moved in May 2009... then july 26th Her home catches fire and she loses everything! I mean EVERYTHING! she had maybe a bathtub full of things she kept... It was so cool to see her transform her life to Christ as we were there!

This is so heart-wrenching....the scope and magnitude of the total destruction & devastation caused by the levee failures is mind-boggling. Katrina was an Act of God. The levee failures, MRGO and the pathetic response to the victims of this tragedy was an act of inept planning, engineering and government failure. This did not have to happen....All we can hope and pray for now is to learn from our "mistakes" and to never let this happen to a single US citizen again- From: SE LA citizen.

I just got back from a mission trip to New Orleans and the St. Bernard parish area. I watched news coverage on the storm, burt being from wisconsin, it was so opposite from anything here, i had a hard time really picturing what happened. Now that i have a better picture, its even more tragic. But the amazing thing i noticed is that even in the face of all the hardships, the people don't lose hope. They are positive and have faith, and that is truly incredible!

Post Hurricane Katrina I spent time in St. Bernard Parish as part of the Hurricane clean up crew. I have to say. I've never met a nicer group of folks then what I ran into during my time there. I continue to wish them all the best, as well as great success in the future, in returning theirt lives back to some normalcy. Yes this was a great tragidy that all these folks have sufferd.

Katrina was evil in it's purest forum. If you don't believe in hell - look at what Katrina did.

I was down for a spring break...i wish id come sooner, I wish I'd stayed longer. This country owes so much to St. Bernard....I'll be back this summer, I hope. It's a shame Camp Hope is closing, but hopefully the new place in Arabi will go okay.

I lived in St.Bernard also,in Buccaneer Villa North.Worked at CMC. Wasn't it a great community??I miss it so much!! Lost everything,even stuff in the attic.Started over in Mandeville,but I don't feel at home. I cried for the 1st year and a half,didn't matter where I was,driving in my car,shopping,or at home,I cried all the time.I doubt I will ever get over Katrina,it has left a huge scar in my heart.Was a shame ppl were left to fend for themselves,Canadian Mounties 1st to arrive on the 5th day.
