Neighbors and Volunteers
Many New Orleans residents are frustrated by a lack of state and federal help for rebuilding. But that’s not stopping neighbors from organizing on their own. They’re getting significant help from thousands of volunteers, brought in by faith groups and other non-profits. Living on Earth’s Ingrid Lobet reports that much of the progress made in post-Katrina New Orleans is thanks to this collaboration among neighbors, non-profits and volunteers.
