Interview
Thursday, September 22, 2005
I will have the opportunity to speak with a new student here at SCAD that was displaced by hurricane Katrina. This will be a great chance to discuss what feelings are associated with losing a house with someone who just experienced it. Here are some potential questions I have come up with. Please give me some feedback on these, or leave a comment if you would like to add one of your own.
What school did you use to attend?
What items did you take from your house?
Are there any items you wish you would have taken?
Do you know the condition of your residence?
Where did you go?
How did you feel when you found out you couldn't go home?
How did you end up here?
What assistance to you and your family was offered--did you take--did you need--did you want?
How could assitance be improved for you?
What support system or resources has brought you here instead of living in a temporary shelter or housing like others?
What was your experience with poverty in New Orleans
What is your opinion of the media coverage concerning the hurricane?
How did being a husband/father alter the experience for you?

You also might just ask them to tell you their story. You might record it, since you may miss some of the "hidden - read b/w the lines kind of thing" I would imagine that they are still working thru it. Deep inside, most people ask "why me?",and "what did I do to cause this bad thing to happen to me?" so it will help them just to have someone who will listen without judgement, and with encouragement and compassion. Ask them "How can I help you?" Let the Lord guide you and it will be a spiritual experience.
