I will be flying down to New Orleans on Wednesday, February 14th and coming back to Maryland on Sunday, March 4th. I'll be working with Emergency Communities at their Lower Ninth Ward site. Invitations to get off the site for an evening to see the rest of the city are welcome. :-)
I've also taken on responsibility for planning a Gulf Coast volunteer trip for members of my church this summer, probably mid-July. We'll most likely be staying at Camp Victor in Mississippi for about a week, but I'm still working on the details. I had a long talk with the high school workcamp coordinator, and the plan is to make this a regular trip for members of my church-every few months or so, starting with just a few of us and building momentum from there.
