Why Not?
The Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans needs your help! Three years after Katrina and the majority of residents are still displaced. We need smart and kind-hearted people to help rebuild a community and bring hope back to those who need it most.
I bet you’re wondering, “Alright, but how can I help?” Easy. Spend a semester studying at the University of New Orleans. I am collaborating with a community leader from the Lower 9th Ward who has big plans for his neighborhood and has already done incredible things. The emphasis of this trip is to spark awareness and to unite the Aloha spirit with Southern hospitality. How is this trip possible?
There’s a program that our campus is affiliated with called the National Student Exchange. This program allows UH students to domestically travel abroad and pay the resident tuition of the host college. Right now the resident tuition for the University of New Orleans is only $1,645! When airfare, food, and housing are included you come close to matching our rising tuition at home and you get an awesome life-changing experience. What have you got to loose? Just check out the University of New Orleans and National Student Exchange websites and contact us at hawaiicares9@gmail.com.
