Lansdowne Helps The City of Gautier
as part of Lansdowne's Sister City Project

Almost four months after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Port States, people are still suffering from its aftermath. In the small town of Gautier, MS. people are still working on getting back into their homes, rebuilding their city, and recovering from the terrible trauma they suffered. Gautier took a direct hit from Katrina. Because so many businesses were affected by the storm, many residents are without jobs. One of its elementary schools was completely destroyed. All of the city government and most of its services operate out of trailers. Many homes were lost. Over 80% of their population was impacted by the storm.

We are proud to report that Lansdowne has already sent two volunteer work crews down to Gautier and its neighboring towns to help ordinary citizens clean out their homes and rebuild. Two more groups are going down in January; one on the 3rd and one on the 20th.
