Hey Everybody!
First of all I want to say thanks to all of you taking the time to read about our time in New Orleans. We have all just finished up our first day of work down here at our various projects and we are all really excited about the chance to help our respected non-profit organizations improve in various aspects. I am personally with a great group at the St. Bernard Project. This organization was founded after Hurricane Katrina struck and devastated the St. Bernard Parish (population 67,000), which was the only Parish or County in the history of the United States to be completely wiped out due to a natural disaster. SBP is now building over 100 homes per year for homeowners whose properties were devastated during the storm. Out of the thirty Kellstadt students down here, ten are working with SBP on three separate projects, which we will go into detail about as the week goes on. I encourage all of you to look up the St. Bernard Project at their website which is www.stbernardproject.org or “like” them on Facebook.
Stay tuned to hear from our other two groups sometime soon and to hear more about our progress! I will also be posting a video update sometime soon. Again thank you for reading and following us throughout the rest of the week.
Side Note: Anything else you would like to know about our projects? Please leave a comment and let us know. We would love to hear from you!

Hey Billy! This is such a cool project! I wish ECU had a similar opportunity. Are you and the other MBA students doing consulting with these nonprofits to help then better fulfill their missions or are you just helping with whatever they ask of you?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding... read your page about the service projects just now and that answered my question :-)
