"You’re the one my mother told me about!" This statement was made by an elementary student in south Mississippi two years after Hurricane Katrina. On August 29, 2005 Poplarville, Mississippi and the surrounding areas in south Mississippi were hit directly by Hurricane Katrina. The devastation was horrific. Many of the students were affected by the loss of family, friends, pets, homes, schools, and treasures. The effects of the storm are still deeply felt by this area. The recovery has been slow. The Walking Heart 2 Heart Program seeks to help in the healing of these people in south Mississippi.
