Students for Justice traveled to New Orleans this summer to help clean up after hurricane Katrina. A group of four individuals, three students and a part-time instructor, Rob Molinar, went to Louisiana to clean up the flooded houses in the ninth ward.

Sharham Hussan, the president of SFJ, has been working on organizing a second trip to New Orleans this quarter. The official plan was to send ten students and faculty to New Orleans over winter break.

Last Tuesday a panel of club members who went in September hosted a fundraiser to raise $4,000 towards their second trip. The cost of sending someone to help with reconstruction is $500 a person. The dates planned for the trip are Dec. 15 - 22. The club is asking for donations.
