After a massive storm surge destroyed more than 70 percent of the homes in the town, the U.S. Ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International (CCCI) called on college students from all its 1,298 college campuses to join the Katrina relief effort in the Gulf Coast. Thus far, the students have gutted 375 of the 500 flooded homes left still standing after Katrina.
