In an effort to make sense of the 40-something posts we\'ve accrued over the past nine days, I\'ve created a little synopsis of everyone\'s posts, with a link to the original. Nothing is a substitute for the original posts of these amazing writers/volunteers, so please click through to read about our amazing experiences.\r\n\r\nOn Sunday, Mary Anne and I posted about how excited we were to start our project, Project Triage.\r\n\r\nOn Monday, Kesav, Laureve, and Mary Anne posted about our group orientation in New Orleans. I posted an overview of who was where, and what they were doing. Wrapping up with their thoughts about our first day were Dan, returning to a place he considered home; Mary Anne, extolling the virtues of Excel; Amy, helping us to understand the issues of those displaced in Austin; and J.J., deep in the heart of Dallas, Texas.\r\n\r\nOn Tuesday, Annette posted about her first two days with Project Triage and how they relate to the larger civil rights movement we\'re experiencing today. Courtney and I exposed some of the alarming facts gleaned from our Project Triage training. And Denice told us how her frustration with her placement in Austin was emblematic of the frustration with the overall response to the hurricane.\r\n\r\nOn Wednesday, I posted twice about the food here in New Orleans. Courtney posted about her first impressions of the city. Mary Anne explained the madness that is the Project Triage docket sheet. Laureve outlined the struggle of workers rebuilding New Orleans. In Dallas, J.J. shared what it\'s like to be on the outside looking in. From Austin, Denice began reaching out to those displaced across Texas seeking FEMA relief.\r\n\r\nOn Thursday, Kesav uploaded some momentous instances from the past three days. Amy described the unfortunate attitude of \"Katrina Fatigue.\" Kesav ended the day with a look to the future of the Student Hurricane Network.\r\n\r\nFriday. Happy St. Patrick\'s Day, the last day of our placements. Denice explained the importance of being heard, of listening to the stories of survivors. Laureve told of the complex emotions she felt when some one asked her, \"What are you going to do about it?\" I told a story that had haunted me all week. Courtney posted observations about the Lower Ninth Ward and the courtroom. Chris posted about his week with Workers\' Rights\' \"El Equipo de Roving,\" and how he resisted bleak forecasts to instead \"bask in the hope-filled future of New Orleans.\" Mary Anne explained the surreal confusion that surrounded the data we worked with in Project Triage. Amy returned home, with the evacuees stories on her mind.\r\n\r\nSaturday, from home, Kesav seemed disappointed that \"Blogs don\'t scream,\" and posted some pictures from the week. Christine posted how her work with Second Wind, the small business initiative, introduced her to the fiercely strong business owners of New Orleans. Chris posted some amazing photos, and concurred with Kesav\'s need to scream at anyone who will listen.\r\n\r\nOn Sunday, Susan posted her thoughts about our week in the trenches, defined by the t-shirt slogan, \"Defend New Orleans.\"\r\n\r\nBe on the lookout for more posts as people who didn\'t have internet while in their placements come back and share their stories.\r\n\r\nIn other news, as J.J. pointed out we were in yesterday\'s NY Daily News, in the article \"Legal Aid in Big Easy.\" Those of us in New Orleans got up a little early last Wednesday to meet a photographer at Cafe Du Monde for beignets, coffee and pictures. You can check out our adorable mugs in the online and paper editions.\r\n\r\nAlso, the Brooklyn Eagle published a lovely story about us in last Monday\'s paper, \"Spring Break for the Gulf Coast.\" (You\'ll have to register to read the story.) They featured pictures taken by J.J. at our fundraiser on Feb. 28, and even talked about the blog! Awesome!\r\n\r\nOriginally posted: http://bls-shn.blogspot.com/2006/03/review-and-debrief.html
