Volunteer Weeks: Two Weeks of Rebuilding Houses on the Bayous of Louisiana | July 8-22, 2006

20 MIT volunteers rebuilt houses damaged by the 'evil hurricane sisters' Katrina and Rita. They worked with the local NGO TRAC (a disaster mitigation group) in Houma about 50 miles southwest of New Orleans, the last large town before the bayous of the coast. Housing was in 'iPods' (as we call them) and meals were communal. Just like summer camp!
