From NOLA to Haiti

Tonight there have been many highs and lows here in NOLA. We had a great day at the work site, got the drywall up in the hallway and finished mudding in almost every room.

Even though we are here in New Orleans rebuilding houses from the hurricane over 4 years ago, it is hard to concentrate on it because of the current natural disaster that just happened in Haiti. I am sitting here watching CNN and as the images come across the screen, I am reminded of the images of hurricane Katrina. The same feeling of helplessness and concern.

One of the other groups here with us organized a moment of silence and prayer tonight with all of the groups. It is nice to be around many other people who care about whats going on and to recognize and talk about it.

Tomorrow we will work to finish the walls in Ms Annie's house and hope people from all over the world head to Haiti to help save as many people there as possible.
