Spirit of Calabasas

Plaquemines Parish is in the southern part of Louisiana and sustained tremendous damage during the hurricane.  These pictures are three months after the hurricane as the community tries to clean up.  The towns of Buras and Port Sulphur were particularly hard hit.  Pictures at the bottom are from right after the hurricane.  The Spirit of Calabasas is committed to helping Plaquemines Parish get back on their feet.
