Since 2007, the public schools of New Orleans (NOLA) have benefited from university volunteers engaged in service-learning experiences. Teacher candidates,and faculty from NLU work with NOLA teachers to help clean and set-up classrooms, develop curriculum and libraries, and prepare materials for children beginning the new school year. Service-learning experiences transform pre-service teachers into civically engaged educators and active community leaders.

new orleans july 30th
Today we arrived to New Orleans. We had a great flight. When we got to hotel it was amazingly fancy and old looking. Everyone was so kind. We experienced a restaurant with gumbo which i had and the waitress were thanking us for comming to eat and give him buisiness, lot of the peope had lost lots of things in business and was interesting to see what they had to say. We went to the Katrina museum right after. This told us all about the hurricane. They talked about heroes and surrivors of the katrina. It was amazing to see all what happened. I teared up relizing that people have lost more than lots of us in the hurricane than me just loosing my parents. So this was a good start of helping others.
