Today (Dec. 7, 2010) was the 3rd day that the group has been in NOLA. It was also our second full day of work! The entire mini-term group split up into two groups and are working at two different sites, where we are putting up insulation and sheet-rock. We have been fortunate to have the assistance of the members of Americorps! It has been great to see the progress which our team has made on the house over the past two days! Even though the conditions are tough, it is well worth it to struggle through them.
Today was especially exciting because the man whose house we are working on stopped by. Sargent Johnson was very pleased with the condition in which his house was coming along. He showed us several moral boosting strategies that he learned while being in the army. Being able to meet Sargent Johnson really helped being emotions into the work that we were doing since we now knew exactly whose house we were working on.
It always feels great to shower off a day of successful work!

Till next time . . .

Dream Team Member,
