According to Aesop, Slow and Steady wins the race...

The recovery in New Orleans is slow and steady.
No doubt there is a continued influx of volunteers and service workers into the area.
Homes are being rebuilt, and families are being welcomed back to their home town.
The driving tour of the Lower 9th ward was a reminder of the extremity of the situation and the great
amount of work that still has to be done. In contrast, the street where I am working
has many refurbished homes.
It is interesting to note that today is the 1 year anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti.
One can only hope that the progress in New Orleans can be translated to Haiti at a greater scale.
However both places still have a need for help.
It is a wonderful thing to see how many more volunteers there are staying with us and
the slow but important change that is coming to New Orleans.
