Student volunteers rebuilding New Orleans

Ultimate Spring Break Challenge-Purdue University

This is a student volunteer project at Purdue University organized through the residence halls. We are traveling to the gulf coast area of Louisiana to help in the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina. This is a student-led project, with team leaders organizing much of the trip with the help of adult advisers who offer advice concerning logistics of a budget and university policy. This trip is actually heavily subsidized by the organization, as the students only have to pay $150 of the $750 it costs per person to send them on the trip.
