Hello,
My name is Fabian and 15 students from San Jose High School, including me, are going on a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana in June. We are going to rebuild houses that were destroyed by Huricane Katrina. However, we need funding for the trip. We tried to keep the expenses as low as possible by staying at a volunteer camp but the price is still approximately $850 per person. I need help reaching my part so I am wondering if I can get some help from you. I would really appreciate it if I can have some help.
Thank you
Fabian,
The Greater New Orleans Foundation doesn’t normally deal with this sort of request. You may want to consider contacting Katrina Watson at HandsOn New Orleans.
