GREAT NEWS: The NBC Katrina program broadcast, Coming Home: Hurricane Katrina 5 Years Later, featuring PDA & Project Homecoming will now be aired in 34 cities! This special, filmed by PDA's award-winning videographer, David Barnhart, will feature PDA & Project Homecoming's work in New Orleans. One of the focal points of the special is the story of Carol Jupiter, whose home you either worked on or contributed funds to last year. Khandi Alexander, an actress featured in the HBO series, "Treme" will be the voice of the narrative in the special.
Because of the great number of requests for the show, NBC is also making the special available to affiliates on the Anniversary of Katrina (August 29). Not all of these stations will air it on that day, so consult the list of stations and times. A list of the NBC stations who have committed to airing the special is on our Facebook page under "Discussions." If you are not on Facebook, send an email to christina.homecoming@gmail.com, and I will send you the list. If your local NBC station is not on this list you must have folks call your local affiliate to request it. Be sure to be very specific in your request, particularly asking for Horizon of the Spirit series program, Coming Home: Hurricane Katrina 5 Years Later.
Great job, everyone, in making this happen!

- Hello! This blog will follow Alex Marino, Christina Drake, and Henry Lin as they travel from New Orleans to California and beyond. This Krewe du NOLA is a bunch of long-term volunteers who have served two or three years as Construction Assistants with Project Homecoming, the rebuilding ministry of the Presbytery of South Louisiana partnered with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PH has built over 125 homes in the Greater New Orleans area that were affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. We are raising $30,000 before September 1st to help provide a living stipend for FIVE long-term volunteers for one year. Help to rebuild New Orleans by coming to a presentation, eating some New Orleans cookin’ and bringing more people to this blog!
