Colorado State makes a difference
As promised, below is a clip from our first day of filming the documentary. This young woman volunteers with AmeriCorps, and she led the Colorado State group in adding drywall to the ceilings of their home in St. Bernard Parish. Listen to what she has to say about the house they are rebuilding for a family.
Amanda Atkins, AmeriCorps volunteer
Amanda Atkins has a talent for energizing people. She bonded well with the volunteers from Colorado State, the majority of whom had no previous experience working with drywall. Atkins spent two months working with the St. Bernard Project, and it’s clear that she made a difference.
Many more of these video clips are forthcoming. At this time of the year, volunteers are beginning to endure the heat of the Gulf Coast, so please keep them in mind.
With hope,
Gretchen
