On
a recent visit to New Orleans, I toured the 'Lower Ninth Ward' part of
town where over 3,000 families were displaced in 2005 due to Hurricane
Katrina. One of the worst natural disasters in the US, Katrina took a
human toll of over 1,800.
I wanted to check out the status of the rebuilding efforts by Brad Pitt initiated 'Make It Right' foundation and met up with Robert Green Sr. a local resident and community organizer who lost 2 family members and his home. Mr. Green who now lives in an energy efficient house built by the foundation was kind enough to give me a tour of the area and explain the aftermath of Katrina and rebuilding efforts since then.
