Reflections after returning home:
* · It was heartbreaking to see how much still needs to be done.
* · It is unreasonable for there to be deadlines for folks to be out of their "Katrina cottages" by the end of February or March.
* · It was frustrating to not have money for necessary materials to complete some of the jobs.
* · It was heartwarming to see the spirit of the friends we have made there.
* · It was maddening to feel as though the whole country is ignoring their plight.
* · It was good to be able to help some people actually get into their homes again.
* · It is difficult to fundraise and to deal with the expense each time we go
* · It was hard to leave knowing how much more there is to do.
* · It is good to know that our next trip is already being planned.
