Images from nearly three years of Recovery and Rebuild

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:05:21 +0000

Volunteers from Global Hope have been a constant source of support for Common Ground Relief and, in particular, the rebuild of the Lower Ward. Most recently, Global Hope has collaborated with Common Ground Relief to ensure the rebuilding of Reverend Adam's Church.

Common Ground Relief is incredibly grateful to Global Hope not just for their relentless support, but also for producing this short video, which charts two and half years of the volunteer recovery and rebuild effort in New Orleans.

Common Ground would further like to express gratitude for the sacrifices that these courageous and dedicated volunteers continue to make by engaging in these solidarity efforts. The global community benefits by people coming together, and working together to promote hope and civic responsibility.

To help you spread the word (and pictures), we are excited to announce that we now have 2 DVDs available.

Solidarity Not Charity was made during the period of the Thanksgiving Road Trip by an amazing volunteer team of videomakers and it is a wonderful expression of Common Ground's overall mission as well as a document of the work achieved so far. With titles and music and footage of you all banging down walls as well as political analysis, this DVD rocks (view online)!

Katrina's Child was produced as a sequel and shows more recent footage of the work that Common Ground continues to perform (view online).
