notes: Southern Mutual Help, a nonprofit that's been supporting rural development in Louisiana for over 30 years, is recruiting individual & group volunteers to help rebuild Jean Lafitte, a small town situated along Bayou Barataria, 20 minutes from the French Quarter. The area is quiet, the people friendly, fishing & seafood a big part of life. There is even a beautiful boardwalk to stroll through the bayou nature after a hard day's work! Currently, volunteers are needed to rebuild homes (gutting, hang drywall & insulation, install flooring) in this town that got hit by both hurricanes Rita and Katrina. Working in teams, volunteers help individual families rebuild their homes. With your help, every house we rebuild brings us one step closer to rebuilding the community. SMHA and the town of Jean Lafitte provide lodging, cooking facilities and showers for volunteers. Volunteers are responsible for their own meals and transportation to the site. Since last year, SMHA has coordinated 1,000 volunteers from 35 states to facilitate rebuilding & redevelopment in 450 homes throughout 17 parishes. We hope that you will join us to be a part of this exciting and important endeavor. We partner with families to help them rebuild their homes – and their lives. You will be another partner in the process. Your presence and assistance are invaluable in helping people mobilize their strengths and look to the future with hope. Every house we rebuild helps to rebuild the community. Unskilled and skilled physical labor in the field as well as people with nonphysical skills. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by parents or by other adults responsible for supervising them. All volunteers must be willing to take safety seriously and must understand that they can't expect "all the comforts of home" while they are here. Coming as part of a group makes a lot of sense, although we are often able to connect individual volunteers to a group that will be here at the same time.

Southern Mutual Help Association, Inc.' s (SMHA's) ability to respond to Isaac-damaged communities depends on the resources made available to us to help in their recovery. Plaquemines Parish, split in two by the Mississippi River and jutting 50 miles out into the Gulf, is essential to our nation’s oil, gas and seafood production. It is ancestral home to a diverse population of Native Americans, Creole families, African Americans, and Cajuns. Homes and livelihoods are in peril again.
