Project Homecoming - the rebuilding effort of The Presbytery of South Louisiana - Presents:
What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Where do you go when you have no home to go to? These are questions that so many affected by Hurricane Katrina found themselves asking that fatal September in 2005. It’s now been over two years since the storm, and yet theirs still so much recovery to be done.
Project Homecoming and The Presbytery of South Louisiana have joined together to reunite families with their homes. Over a million people once called New Orleans their home, with your help you can assure that New Orleans will be called “home” again. Through this ministry and the efforts of volunteers over 300 homes have been resurrected.
Waves of bewildered, frightened people made their way to the nearest haven, Baton Rouge, where news media was trying to keep up with the need of information, first responders were jumping from training to immediate action and the ones affected were just trying to make sense of the chaos.
Rev. Hawley Wolfe, pastor of the Broadmoor Presbyterian Church has captured these moments in a dramatic play when New Orleans evacuees first arrived in Baton Rouge and found shelter and help set up by his church. His play, The Name Of The Rain, will soon be shared across the country, in a production including a segment about the Project Homecoming rebuilding efforts.
The production will tell the story of what happened those hectic months in 2005, what is happening now, and how the audience can help.
So now that you know what to do, what will you do?
