Her Friend Down in New Orleans. The daughter's friend signed up for an "alternative spring break get-away" which entailed a bus ride to New Orleans to help re-build homes in the aftermath of the Katrina devastation.
Well FEMA and other like-organizations could not have done a better job demonstrating their incompetence if they tried. Thousands of college students were brought down to Ground-Katrina. Said college students arrived only to discover that there would be nothing to 're-build' because zip-point-zero had been done since the hurricane hit i.e. the storm might as well have ripped through yesterday... The students were housed in tents on the outskirts of the city with not nearly enough tents to go around. Food consisted of Snickers bars, chips, soda, white bread, and occasional pieces of fatty pink substances proclaiming to be ham. On most days students were bused to areas, dropped off, but then given no instructions as to what they were supposed to do. On one occasion, the students were dropped off at a location and left stranded: No return transportation had been organized. You get the picture...
