Literacy*AmeriCorps Goes to RUBARB in the Lower 9th Ward
























Our AmeriCorps group toured the shop and later on worked on repairing or "stripping down" some old bikes. ("Stripping a bike" means to take it apart piece by piece for spare parts.) We were joined by two staff volunteer personnel at RUBARB, Carl Prey who is originally from Canada and Lani Bemak who is from Massachusetts. Many volunteer staff members joined RUBARB after seeing the damage done to the 9th Ward from Katrina.
