Back from Biloxi

The team got back yesterday morning: thirty exhausted teens and leaders all wearing red tee shirts. Each team member has their own stories, but a common theme is amazement at the scope of the devastation, even now, nearly a year later. Some of Hannah's photos tell the story more eloquently than words. The region is full of areas where something used to be — but is no longer.


Quite common are "stairs to nowhere"...


Some multi-story buildings were outright destroyed; others look like this. No, that isn't a building with a parking area underneath... the vacant first floor used to be a pharmacy.

A beautiful picture of a terrible sight.



There is so much remaining to be done.
