SBP is back!!! The Clark Brothers (Paul and Mike) and the Muellers are back in St. Bernard Parish. The office is safe, the tools are safe and the Parish looks - all things considered - quite good!!!!!
First-phase St. Bernard Project staff will be in the Parish tonight, we'll hold community meals every evening starting tomorrow, we'll assess current jobsites through the weekend and we'll begin our rebuilding work on Monday.
Also, kudos to St. Bernard Parish officials who safely evacuated the Parish and ensured that residents and property were safe. Despite a large task, the Parish government effectively operated in spite of clear environmental burdens. I urge people who will be in St. Bernard to thank the local government for its hard and effective work.
I apologize for being redundant, but while we have escaped Gustav, all too many residents have not escaped Katrina. Now is the time to re-double our rebuilding efforts and to get the Community Wellness and Mental Health Clinic off the ground. We can only do so with your support.
Here's to moving forward!!!!!

Zack - Wonderful news about St. Bernard Parish, a place very close to my heart!! This is "Tall Paul," the lawyer from Denver. I was there for women's build last year (even though I'm a guy!). I'll show up again someday for more work, so watch out!! :) Best wishes to you, Liz, and all the other volunteers of the St. Bernard Project! Paul

You guys are awesome. I'm so glad to hear you are back, and everyone is safe. Keep up the great work. I wish I was there to help cook (and eat) the community meals. Sounds like a great way to welcome everyone back.

pHi Everyone, this is Coreen, the Coordinator of the team from Vancouver Canada that came down in mid-July. Our team was watching closely to the updates on Hurricane Gustav. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone in the Parish and everyone we encountered in our week in New Orleans. Glad to hear all is relatively well and we continue to pray.
