First of all, I would like to say that it is soooo nice to hear from you all when I write my blog. Your responses remind me that there's a whole world outside of AmeriCorps still waiting for me.
Update: My team has been pulled from our project in WV (sadly saying good-bye to Lowell this morning) to return to campus to help out in disaster response in Mississippi. As I am sure you all know, there are disasters popping up all over the state: tornadoes, floods and oil spills OH MY! We are currently at a Sleep Inn in Birmingham, Alabama stopping over on our trip to Vicksburg (accidentally passed the 16th street baptist church- which I made my team get out of the van and explore/learn about after a 12 hour van ride- they were not happy with me). When we arrive in Vicksburg we will be briefed on the response efforts. On Thursday we will head to Jackson to work with the Red Cross headquarters in MS to coordinate efforts. We are also on call in case anyone asks for a team for direct response (think house gutting, tree cutting...)
Looking forward to helping!
Also: The Adopt a Katrina Family video is finally done. BIG THANKS to my Papa on all the hard work he did editing and to corps member Peter from Sally's team for writing the score. PLEASE share it with your friends and congregations!
Love you all!
Peace
