Greetings from New Orleans

and the senior high youth group! 

We arrived here on Sunday and started work on Monday.  We have been

picking up debris from yards that were under 7 - 10 feet of water for

weeks. It is very dirty and we are saddened when we find people's

personal possessions that they were not able to save when the water

came. 

 

We have also helped to "build" two little league diamonds - the

dirt was delivered in a dump truck and we created the diamonds by

hauling and spreading the dirt with wheelbarrows and shovels.

 

We have been working for 4 days and we feel like we have not even made a dent

- there is SO MUCH work to be done here!  It seems like the rest of the country has

forgotten about the people in New Orleans.

We are all looking forward to sharing our stories and our pictures when we return!
