This is the girls from my original pod - Brenton was my TL then as well. From left: Brenton, me, Claudia, Rhiannon, Abby, Melissa, Jeana.

Our fearless leader, Brenton, who is not too happy with me taking his picture (but it was necessary for our brochure!!)

Buck, probably the most motivated person on our team, taking a nap after a long day.

The whole team! This is our badger pose. Yes, we look intimidating.

So we are gearing up for our trip to New Orleans, but there's a whole lot of administrative stuff to do. We have to make a presentation to the region director detailing our project, our goals, and how we will accomplish those goals, among other things. We are doing some research on New Orleans, trying to learn as much about it as possible, as that is also a requirement for every project: we need to know the people we're helping.

Anyway, our project has changed a bit. We are still staying at Camp Hope (camp 3, btw) but we are no longer doing warehouse work or running the camp. We're doing something called Serve Green, which I have no idea what it is, and neither does my TL, and neither does his supervisor. Which makes it kind of hard to work on our director's brief when we don't know much of anything about our organization. What we DO know is that it will be awesome! We'll be going to many different locations, working directly with people, doing many different types of projects. Although the warehouse would have been cool, I'm looking forward to getting out there and meeting people. Also, we will be living in military tents for at least the first month of our time there. We will have outdoor bathrooms and showers, and wi-fi as well! I think it's going to be pretty awesome...

Gotta run!
