                        <description>Law Fraternity travels to the Ninth Ward in New Orleans, LA to help an elderly homeowner  recover from Hurricane Katrina.  For many elderly uninsured homeowners, volunteer groups are the only means for them to recover personal belongings.  More than seven months after Katrina, much of the Ninth Ward remains in ruins.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[New York, NY (PRWEB) April 10, 2006 -- On Saturday April 1, 2006, the NYC Alumni Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International (&quot;PAD&quot;) and Operation Helping Hands of New Orleans teamed up to clean and gut a home located in the Ninth Ward, one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. More than 40 volunteers generously devoted their time, money and labor to give back to a community still very much in need. The event, called the PAD FlyAway, is usually organized as a fun weekend trip to locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico or St. Kitts. However, this year, attorney Stephen J. Savva, the Justice (President) of the NYC Alumni Chapter, and other PAD leaders decided that bringing a group of volunteers to New Orleans was more 
important.



Partnering with Catholic Charities USA, who runs Operation Helping Hands in New Orleans, the PAD FlyAway Group was assigned to clear debris, recover personal belongings and gut a two-family home located at 1316-18 Reynes Street. The FlyAway team was comprised of more than 40 attorneys and students traveling from California, Florida, New York, New Jersey and within Louisiana.

The FlyAway team witnessed first-hand the complete devastation that 
continues to exist in the lower Ninth Ward. Written in orange spray paint on a home across the street were the words &quot;1 DOG DEAD&quot; and &quot;FL1&quot; -- indicating that a one person was found alive and one pet was found dead at the home.  On the front lawn of 1316-18 Reynes Street, was an overturned SUV apparently left behind by the receding flood waters from the breached levees. 

The conditions discovered inside 1316-18 Reynes Street were nothing short of heart-wrenching. Armed with masks and gloves, the FlyAway team removed tons of debris, clothing, furniture and appliances one piece at a time with respect and care. The FlyAway team carefully sifted through the debris to recover personal belongings such as jewelry, photographs, statues and a handful of other personal items. Although the vast majority of the items found in 1316-18 Reynes Street were unsalvageable, the foundation of the home appeared sound.
 
After completing work, the FlyAway group was informed that the home was owned by Mrs. Rose Migliore, an elderly woman afflicted with Polio with no insurance. Unfortunately, too many residents on Reynes Street had no insurance. Although many months have passed since Katrina passed over the Ninth Ward, Reynes Street remains mostly vacant, with no running water or electricity and little evidence of any construction. The only noticeable traffic is a Red Cross truck occasionally passing by to provide food and water to volunteers and
homeowners working in the area. 

Upon returning to the Le Pavilion Hotel, members of the team had an 
opportunity to speak with Mrs. Migliore on the telephone. Mrs. Migliore was most gracious and appreciative of the fact that someone cared enough to travel to New Orleans to help her. She told the group of volunteers that her home had been built by her husband and brother-in-law several decades ago. The group reported to Mrs. Migliore that they found some of her personal belongings and that the fine workmanship of her husband and brother-in-law was evident once the home had been cleared of its contents.  After hearing the joy in Mrs. Migliore&#039;s voice, it became clear to all involved in the FlyAway program that New Orleans was the perfect location for the 2006 PAD FlyAway.

On Sunday April 2, 2006, Mr. Savva and fellow PAD Alumnus Carmen McCormick, Esq., met briefly with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin at the Le Pavilion Hotel to provide him with information about 2006 FlyAway....
