So what all did we DO to help out?  Common Ground's goal was mainly to get houses rebuilt so that residents could come back and occupy the neighborhoods, which would also allow them to vote in the next election.  The government has essentially done nothing to help in this area other than supply a few FEMA trailers.  So thousands of student volunteers came down to do some of the work.  One thing we needed was water bottles and snacks (which Katie is holding).
