New Orleans:

Kirstin Perkins Reports:

I recently took a group of volunteers to

New Orleans to work with the
St. Bernard Project, a non-profit organization rebuilding homes for families displaced by hurricane Katrina.

The organization relies on donations to purchase

building materials and on volunteers to install
them.

Our entire group was shocked at the

devastation in the area and at how

much still needs

to be done there.

The families that we spoke
to and the stories that we heard had

such an impact on us that we left feeling very blessed

that these people allowed us to work on  their
homes and inspired us to continue working in the St. Bernard Parish assisting in any way we can.

I will be planning 5 day volunteer trips
to the area every other month and will be

working on other projects as
well.

If you have any questions,

are interested in participating in a
volunteer trip or would like to support one, please let me know and I will make sure to email information to you.
