All that we have learned so far has been really eye opening. I feel like before we started our classes I was one of the Americans who had no idea about the situation in New Orleans and the Wetlands. I think what we are doing is so important because we will be able to spread the message that the people of Southern Louisiana still need help, which many Americans are unaware of. The most shocking thing for me this far has been watching the documentaries. When you see the footage it is hard to believe that this catastrophe happened in our own country, the destruction and the helplessness of the people to me resembled the kinds of pictures we see from third world countries. Everything I have learned so far has made a big impact on me but I am ready to go down there experience it first hand!
