Robert St. John: Rolling Fork is truly rising
SUMMARY: Since 2017, I’ve hosted over 1,350 travelers on more than 55 trips across Europe. What began as a single trip grew into a second business, taking up four months each year. Along the way, I’ve formed lasting friendships, especially with people from the South. One such person is Andy Anderson from Rolling Fork, Mississippi, who, after a devastating EF4 tornado in 2023, co-founded Rolling Fork Rising to help rebuild his community, focusing on helping renters left without homes. Their model, built on accountability and education, is making a real difference. Meeting people like Andy highlights the power of resilience and community.
