What We'll Be Doing:

Hey, I've been getting alot of questions about what we'll be doing down there. Here's a brief description from the church through which we'll be working (which can be found via the link):

"The next stage of the Hurricane relief effort is the cleanup stage. The Church will be sending teams of able-bodied and healthy members who are capable of working with chain saws and wheel barrels, hauling away heavy debris, assisting neighbors in getting rid of their drenched belongings and furniture. Each team will consist of 13 volunteers broken down into ten workers, two cooks and a minister. They will volunteer four to five days of their time, after which the team will be rotated with a fresh team of 13 volunteers. This effort will last for at least three to five weeks. At the same time, we will keep the church open for lunch and dinner for the neighborhood."

We're going to be leaving this Thursday, flying through Chicago down to Louisiana. Our return will likely not be until the second week of October, give or take, but thats not set in stone.
