My reasons for going

I am going on the trip for two reasons. The first is that I want to help the people of New Orleans in their recovery from Katrina. My wife and I went to New Orleans on our honeymoon and we fell in love with the city while we were there. I want to go back and help. The second reason is that I want to see what progress has been made towards recovery. I hope to be able to see more of the city while we are there.

Below is a picture of my wife in Jackson Square from our visit in 2003.
