MISSION TRIP TO NEW ORLEANS
The purpose of the trip was to help rebuild homes for families who were affected by Hurricane Katrina and to build new construction in communities that are suffering from blight in New Orleans. Volunteers from Clayton Valley Presbyterian Church joined the First Presbyterian Church, San Anselmo, in conjunction with Project Homecoming which is is a faith-based community development organization.
The first set of pictures show the destruction, the second set are the work crew and their work, the third set is the dedication, and the final set shows some of the villages provided by Project Homecoming which managed the project.
