9th Ward Field of Dreams

Along with much of the surrounding area of the Lower 9th Ward, Carver High School in New Orleans was devastated by Hurricaine Katrina in 2005. 

Since then the school has operated out of temporary buildings and their sports fields are nearly non-existent, but thanks to an inspirational 23 year old teacher.athletic director and the support of many members of the community they recently surpassed the $1 million mark putting them more than half way toward their goal of building a brand new football stadium complete with Olympic-quality track.
