Each of these participants in the Tourism - Caring for America project has experienced firsthand the devastation that photographs and feature stories cannot possibly communicate. For the volunteers, the blisters, sun burns and bug bites will heal within a week, but we'll cherish forever the opportunity to contribute and all the memories and friendships created. |
Frankly, having been here, it makes me a better person and a much more tolerant person. |
There is no other area in the country that needs our industry's help like the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It's literally devastated. |
We want to bring it back so that the people can enjoy what the Mississippi Gulf Coast used to give people in the past. And we know it's gonna take a long time for it to come back, but it takes one step at a time and we're trying to give them one of their first steps. |
