New Orleans, 561 days later... Gentilly to Lakeview #2

I went down to New Orleans with a group of University of Minnesota Duluth students over spring break (March 11-17, 2007) to volunteer in the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina. This video was taken during a drive through the neighborhoods of Gentilly and Lakeview, including the 17th street canal, after a long day of work and numerous questions of mine about how much rebuilding and help the city still needed. A lovely native of New Orleans took me on a 45 minute drive such that I could see it all for myself. This series of videos is meant to give some perspective and awareness as to how much help New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Coast still need. We've all got a little volunteer in us...
