Check out last year's SMC NOLA Documentary-Blessed to Be A Witness

Saint Mary's College is Bringing Back the Bayou in New Orleans as a Jan Term class for 2007. This group follows in the footsteps of the 2006 Jan Term course "Bridges to the Bayou," who performed more than 4000 hours of manual labor as part of a mobile relief team.

Please check out last year's efforts by watching the following documentary film made by Marcia Ong (SMC alumna from 2002) about the experience from January 2006. The Documentary, "BLESSED TO BE A WITNESS," is presented in 3 parts due to its size. Enjoy!

Follow this year's Saint Mary's NOLA team as their 5 teams of students produce blogs and video diaries so friends, family and communities can see how the project is doing in Jan. 2007. (CHECK OUT VIDEOS BY SCROLLING FURTHER DOWN THIS VLOG SITE).
