Day 2: Monday January 5th
A day of service containing manual labor and fellowship has set us off to an amazing start! Our first reflection highlighted an inquisitiveness to seek stories and conversations with new people and to understand the history of New Orleans. As I drove through the lower 9th ward, into the central district and back, I saw great disparity between seemingly untouched and unharmed areas and communities still seeking restoration. In between both of these things, lay an array of culture, from Spanish and French inspired towns, ghostly graveyards, and poh-boy sandwich shops. Oh and did I mention that today was COLD!!!!!
Personal HIGHLIGHT of the day: I learned how to use a pressure washer!
Day 3 here we come!
