Hurricane Katrina Response Photos - 2006 - Page Nine

Nov. 6, 2006 - Camp Restore, located at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in New Orleans, is fully operational since its assembly by the Laborers for Christ and Lutheran Layman's League in October. Volunteers who are able are asked to donate $20 per day to help defray expenses for food and lodging.

Three meals a day prepared in the Orphan Grain Train mobile kitchen have been well-received according to all reports.

Volunteers sleep in Prince of Peace Lutheran School classrooms temporarily converted to dorm rooms.

Rev. Ed Brashier is the camp chaplain.

Nov. 7, 2006 - FEMA trailers are seen everywhere in South Louisiana more than one year since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Photos by Kathy Johnson.

Parks like this one are convenient places to house the temporary FEMA towns.

The trailers house families whose livelihoods depend on the shrimping and fishing industry, which was hit hard by Katrina.

One by one the shrimpers rebuild their lives as well as their boats. This area of the country produced 30% of America's seafood before the hurricanes.

Washhouses from Orphan Grain Train are highly valued because it's dozens of miles to a working laundromat from Venice, La. FEMA trailers have no space for washers and clothes-dryers.

Another 20-foot-long washhouse brought to Venice by volunteer drivers Gwynn and Kathy Johnson of Hampton, Neb.
