19 August 2006 - New Orleans - Louisiana. Faith Figueroa. Finding Faith. Faith (2 yrs) with her mother Miriam and her sister Anfernya (5yrs) back in the 9th Ward from which they were evacuated by boat as hurricane Katrina flooded their neighbourhood almost a year ago. The neighbourhood remains desolate, with few residents. Hurricane damage for the most part unrepaired. They now have to share their home with rats. Electricity is sporadic and expensive, the telephone company has still not repaired the lines and someone tried to break into their home a few days ago whilst they were in it. Faith manages a smile as the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches. Faith was featured on the Sept 19th 2005 cover of Newsweek.
