Every Wednesday, for the last two weeks the NENA center has been getting an extra helping hand. Professor and painter Ron Bechet of Xavier University’s Art Department, along with students from Xavier and Tulane, have been working with NENA (Neighborhood Empowerment Network Association), a resource center located in the lower 9th ward, to help better the community and its neighborhood’s citizens. The group is working on grant writing for the center and on helping local citizens with job placement, resume building skills, computer use, financial planning and housing.
The NENA’s relief center is located on 1120 Lamache Street and is open Wednesday and Friday. Its church, Church of the Annunciation, is located on 4505 South Claiborne. The telephone number is 504-895-8697.
