Sunday - Quick Update

I finally found time for an update! :]

Our flight went fine and we got in a bit earlier than expected. Getting from the airport to our respective quarters was a bit of an adventure and some trip members got to experience New Orleans public transportation. The service learning group is staying at First Street United Methodist Church and working with Hands On Network. HON is run by the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps. The environmental and homelessness groups are staying at Felicity House and working with UMCOR. All three groups were out working yesterday on three different houses. More later on the specifics of the work.

Today is our day off and there are a couple different things planned. One van-load of people (not group specific) will be taking a guided tour of the Ninth Ward, I will be taking another van down the Gulf Coast Highway to Biloxi, and I can't remember what the third van is doing so I'll have to post that later. Oops. :]

We'll try and have other people post more specific stuff later. If any of you want to know anything specific please comment with your inquiry and one of us will get back to you.
