The One Brick New Orleans trip was one of the top volunteer projects I ever got the chance to be part of. In short, the volunteers help build some of the houses that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. It is absolutely surprising that even after 11 years, there are still areas in New Orleans affected by that catastrophe. When we arrived at the house that we worked on, the volunteers received tasks that they would perform throughout the week. Some people were painting the house; some were putting in tile and grouting it; and some were doing other essential tasks for the house.
