It's been two years since New Orleans was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. The tourists are slowly returning, and there are many events being planned to remember the day. But, many residents need only look around their neighborhoods for a vivid reminder of the impact of one of the most destructive natural disasters in U.S. history. The city struggles with neighborhood redevelopment, and there are healthcare challenges. The effects of this tragedy linger, and the need continues for volunteers, partners and donations throughout the Gulf Coast region.
