This Spring Break has been one to remember. We have not been living in the most comfortable conditions by any means, but the opportunities we’ve gottenĀ to experience have been nothing short of incredible. This trip has thrown us into New Orleans in a way that just visiting cannot compare to. Through our service work with Habitat we have gotten to work throughout downtown, and at the same time meet some of those who have lived in New Orleans for nearly 50 years.
We have gotten to see how a small amount of time can make a big impact on someones life. The house we mostly worked on this week has not been completely transformed, but you wouldn’t know that from the gratitude the owners have shown us. Hearing the devastation they went through during Katrina, and to then be able to be a small part of helping them restore their home has been awesome. All in all, we have rebuilt porches, painted a house, insulated another house, eaten crappy food, eaten delicious food, have slept a little, and have worked a lot; and I would recommend it to anyone.
