These women are volunteers for the Beacon of Hope Resource Center. They organized the volunteers who would be working the Gentilly neighborhood on Wednesday. The woman on the left is expressing her gratitude for our help. She had me in tears.
This is the group I was in 
on Wednesday. We walked down the street and the organizers would yell out how many volunteers were needed on each site or at each home. The home owners would direct us from there.

The home owners would direct us from there.The home owners were contacted prior to our arrival in New Orleans. They were asked if they wanted to have help with their homes. Those who accepted received money to purchase plants, trees, paint, tools, whatever was needed to do improvements on their homes. Then we showed up to do the work!
