9/11 Victims' Children Help New Orleans

Nineteen young people who lost a parent during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are in town this week to pitch in with volunteer work at Habitat for Humanity's Musicians Village residential development in the Upper 9th Ward.

The visit was organized by Tuesday's Children, a 9/11 family support organization, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, the Hope for Stanley Foundation and City Council President Arnie Fielkow.

The Stanley Foundation is a rebuilding support group created in honor of Stanley Stewart, who played a lead role in helping evacuate Hurricane Katrina victims from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center after the storm.
