Whopper of a hurricane season

–

Remembering the 12 feet of water that Katrina left us under, what is our right action for this imminent hurricane season? And the next? And 50 years from now? How can we participate in the growth of resilient communities knowing this is our future?

This question is especially crucial for the ninth ward, but more and more applicable to communities worldwide: ”local solutions to global challenges.” (OSBG blog)

Margo Schall ’11 is working with Our School at Blair Grocery, an alternative community school and urban farm in the lower ninth ward of New Orleans. She has been in New Orleans since January and her CPGC sponsored internship began in mid-May.
