RUBARB and Literacy*AmeriCorps in the 9th Ward
















Here are some photos from Saturday's Literacy*AmeriCorps service project at RUBARB (Rusted Up Beyond All Recognition Bikes) in the 9th Ward in New Orleans. We were helping this volunteer bicycle "shop" to repair children's bikes that were ruined in Hurricane Katrina. Some of our Literacy*AmeriCorps members present at either RUBARB or the RUBARB marketplace event included Molly, Kim, Laura, Miriam, Lauren, BJ, Libby, myself, Gibson (our 5 month old, honorary AmeriCorps volunteer) and his dad Owyn and, of course, Sarah. Read all about it in the several RUBARB stories on January 11.
