exploration…part deux | Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007
https://berkleeonthebayou.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/explorationpart-deux
Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. June 15, 2007. Today Carol the volunteer from Denver drove a few of us Berklee folks around the lower 9th and St. Bernard’s Parish. She has come to New Orleans before and worked gutting a house. Because of this, she knows her way around and has some stories about the time she spent here in the past. Two years later…If you think about it, it’s really not that long. I have a new realization of the true nature of the destruction. Horrible. Laquo; Strange to think.

We’re back here…now what? | Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007
https://berkleeonthebayou.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/were-back-herenow-what
Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. June 21, 2007. We’re back here…now what? I could not have asked for a better group with which to spend my time. The week was wonderful and each of the Berklee ( 1 honorary Berklee) folks was truly inspiring. We went about our work without complain, without pause, without hesitation. We did what we went to do and then some, I would imagine. And now, we’re back. What will come of this? How will the group of us continue to support one another? Enter your comment here.

New Orleans, Taught Me | Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007
https://berkleeonthebayou.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/new-orleans-taught-me
Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. June 19, 2007. New Orleans, Taught Me. I learned a lot on this trip, not just about me. Learned so much about the 7 people, that came with me to see,. The devastation of Katrina and result of her work. Making 7 new friends… I’ll just call it a perk. We came together like so many do for this mission,. No know how, no comprehension, no vision. Clay pieces if you will, sculpted into something worth while. Looking to help doing anything, I’ll move them objects a mile.

Not yet home | Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007
https://berkleeonthebayou.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/not-yet-home
Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. July 2, 2007. Our time there was short and our contribution to the many homes being built as part of the Musicians’ Village was relatively small. Our view of the city was limited- all of us were lucky enough to get tours outside of just the French quarter where we stayed and the Upper Ninth Ward where we worked, but in one week you can only do and see so much. But we saw so much and contributed a great deal- much more than I thought we would. Photo by Jenna Logue.

Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. June 15, 2007. From she who says little…. Throughout the week, I have said little but I have kept my eyes and ears open at all times. The things I have seen, heard, felt, wondered, and learned are still spinning–waiting to be fully digested. As such, my post will remain superficial yet hopefully informative. The details of this are foggy but some things that highlight her experience include–being fed well at the Superdome (what’s that place called in TX? Jenna is w...

Strange to think | Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007
https://berkleeonthebayou.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/strange-but-true
Berklee Goes to New Orleans, June 2007. June 15, 2007. My local paper ran a story. Here is a ‘house’ directly across the street from the homes we were working on earlier in the week:. The same news article quotes Aleis Tusa, a Habitat for Humanity spokesperson: “A lot of neighborhoods are still devastated. It’s strange to think two years later we have people living in FEMA trailers.”. Strange to think, but true:. Posted in Musicians' Village. Laquo; From she who says little…. On July 28, 2007.
