Five Years After Katrina
Five years after Katrina hit the city people are still homeless to this day. There were families that would scrounge through things for supplies. They would also cram into there relative's apartments. Until they have discoveref that the FEMA had trailors for people too stay in for a while. Also, the FEMA had sold some trailers too people and also let people stay in them for a while even if there wasn't enough room.
Soon later a co-founder of the St. Bernard Project which was an organization that helps rebuild homes in New Orleans. People would take little jobs too try too support there family and try too get a house. Soon residents in New Orleans are able too recieve a maximum of $150,000 too rebuild there homes. There was people living in houses that only had insulation in them. There was also houses that had drywall in them that would ruin your health. People would soon get houses on there property's or relative's. Pretty soon 40% of victims of Rita and Katrina had flood insurance. But after years with Road Home for funds, they successfully recieved a grant for enough too buy themselves a new one-story home.

My opion about Globaloria is I really don't know anything about it but you make a video game on it. I have never anything like that before so I hope it's very interesting. I search the web a lot but I never came across that website. So I am hoping that Globaloria is a fun thing too do and I hope that I learn a lot from it!
