Updates from the group still in Lousianna:

Today we worked with a group from Chattanooga, Tennessee. In the morning, we loaded toys and bookbags for a local elemtary school, and handed them out (James Polis Elemtary school, we think). The kids were really cute, It was great to see their faces when we gave them the presents. Then, in the afternoon, we went to a house and demucked it. Demucking the house was a surprise so we didn't bring our boots. Let's just say our boots got pretty messy. On the way home, the girls sang "Away in the Manger".

We finished mucking out the house we started on yesterday with the group from TN. There was a lot of digging out of house applicanes and James even got to take a
sledgehammer to a toilet to knock it off its hinges. For the past couple of days Michelle Drew and her daughter came and worked with the group (Michelle was a member at Newark who moved to New Orleans to work on her graduate degrees 6 days before the hurricane. She has continued to live in N.O. and help with the recovery).
