Residents Of Devastated Louisiana Parish Struggle To Rebuild

VENICE, LA - AUGUST 03: Alan Sessum (back) sits on the dock of neighbor's camp house where he is temporarily living as he gathers with friends on a boat in the devastated Plaquemine's Parish August 3, 2006 in Venice, Louisiana. Sessum's home on the bayou, only accessible by boat, was completely wiped out by Hurricane Katrina, he says, "I ain't found even one little piece of my place." Sessum also lost his two boats which he used to run charter fishing, bird watching and swamp tours. He had no insurance on the boats or the house and is not being reimbursed by the government. Sessum has lived in the area for 25 years and is currently staying in a neighbor's camp house as he attempts to build a new home across the river. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
