Katrina Disaster Relief

Located on the gulf coast, this small town is 320 km south of Jackson, Mississippi. On August 29, 2005, the worst natural disaster in US history hit the gulf coast. The city of New Orleans as well as the states of Mississippi and Alabama were devastated by the 175 mile/hour (280 km/hour) winds and a 30 foot wall of water that beat against the coast line. 1.2 million people were evacuated from their homes. To date, 1,417 people have been confirmed dead and there are still hundreds of people unaccounted for. Our goal is to assist those who suffered from Hurricane Katrina by transporting emergency supplies and providing groups of skilled labourers (electrical, plumbing, framing, dry walling, etc.) to help the people of Waveland rebuild their lives, homes and businesses.
