After the third day of work at our site, our progress -- and impact -- became visible. After completing installation of sheetrock throughout the house, the rooms began to take definitive shapes and a home began to come forward amongst the devastation still displayed in the surrounding neighborhood.
Perhaps the best expression of this accomplishment came in the eyes of our homeowner, whose gentle smile provided assurances that our work made a difference, however small that might be.
I am glad to be here, and to be a part of this organization. Though I have quickly learned that the rebuilding process for the City of New Orleans will most likely take years, I know that there will be many more groups after ours who will pick up where we leave off.
