Dulac’s condition is worse than I expected. I thought New Orleans was bad and then I realized New Orleans is nothing compared to here. Every where we drive we see a home completely ruined, debree everywhere, stray animals wondering, boats in streets, and many other terrible sights. I think it has affected all of us in enormous ways. Our way of life at Union College is way different from theirs. It is really hard to imagine living the way they do. On top of regular work, they have a community to rebuild. The work we do is minimal in the whole scheme of things but seeing these things and talking with the people is very important as well. I think the experience is more significant than the work we do.  I think we all have gained a lot of respect for the Houma tribe and Dulac’s community as a whole. It is very sad to know that the repairs that have been done will likely be destroyed again in a future storm. I really admire them for not giving up and moving forward each day. They truly have a sense of community and pride that can’t be damaged by a storm.
