Ok, I know you all are anxiously waiting to hear where the next place Americorps is taking me. Our next Project is working with Recovery School district in New Orleans, LA. We will be living in downtown New Orleans on Magazine Street in a building with other volunteers. We are sleeping 6 to a room with bunk beds; I can’t tell you how excited I am to have a bed again…no more floor! Our project sounds really great. We are going to be helping the relief efforts with schools. We will be delivering supplies to schools, painting murals, building playgrounds with Kaboom, creating greenspace for the schools and much more. Basically we are going to be involved in improving the conditions of the schools and making them better places for kids to get an education! I have not read the project description quite yet so that is about the extent of the details I have to offer.
It sounds like a really great project. Everyone is really looking forward to it. We are driving back down to the gulf, leaving April 14 so our work will start shortly after that!
I am going to Alaska for my Spring break (leaving on April 4), so I will write when I return and share all my stories of Alaska and of course the wonderful road trip stories.

AHHH im so jealous you are going to Alaska!! That is my top choice of places I want to visit. New Orleans sounds like it will be a wonderful experience and I am sure you are looking forward to both trips. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up in Portland/Seattle area. Going on a trip with 5 other people is a little tough as far as scheduling and lack of transportation...but I hope you have a wonderful time in Alaska and you better write all about it!! Missss you
Sorry It took me a few days to catch up with your latest. Looks like you still have some fans out hear. Your Grammy is reading these too but she dosn't know how to comment. I tried to instruct her but apparently it didn't work.
Have fun in Alaska
