...several notable changes in the program’s organization, including the replacement of three of last year’s trips with new programs. This year, students will be able to work at an animal shelter in Massachusetts, a public boarding school in Washington, D.C., and in the Broadmoor neighborhood of New Orleans for the first time. Meunier said she was particularly excited about the new program in Washington. “A lot of our students are really interested in urban education,” she said. “It’s a great opportunity...
There are some mothers and some uncles among the 150 people in the ballroom of the Broadmoor hotel, but the night belongs to fathers and daughters. The girls generally range in age from college down to the tiny 4-year-old dressed all in purple who has climbed up into her father's arms to be carried.

Broadmoor's old school building is still boarded up, like many across New Orleans, a testament to FEMA's intransigence and its culture of coming up with bureaucratic justifications for inaction rather than finding ways to help rebuild the city. Lately, however, Vallas and Pastorek have been working with President Bush's Gulf Coast relief coordinator, Donald Powell, and FEMA to find ways to get schools rebuilt or replaced. When that happens, Cantrell and Roark believe the new school will be an anchor for an education corridor planned in the neighborhood...
