9 days, so many miles, one team, one goal – HELP
When the car started, I wondered why.
Took a deep breath and let out a sigh.
Had no idea what was ahead of me,
No clue to what I would see.

We are just a bunch of teens
How could we help the thousands in New Orleans?
Such destruction beyond compare
Nearly hurt your eyes, but had to stare.
Yet, everyone who lived there was happy
When their situation was just downright crappy.

I was a volunteer
And to me it was clear
House number one two three three
You changed me.
The people living inside of you

Just a couple of updates from the OSC26.

House number three is making steady progress. All lumber has been delivered as well as trusses. The first floor exterior walls are almost done and the interior walls are coming together.

Other projects are progressing in both the Lower 9th and St Bernard Parish. The Conary Island Museum project has gone well. The Museum is being restored in the a classic construction style from the mid 1800s.

Many homes have new drywall and other major improvements including framing, electrical, and plumbing.

Keep checking back from updates...
