It's my last night in New Orleans. The LDR team just took me out to dinner to say thank you. Katie, Larry, and Ellen have been great host. I really respect the work that they do here at the volunteer camp. Each week they have to train new volunteers to go out and face all the work that needs to be done in the city and surrounding areas. They along with many other groups throughout this region face an impossible task each day.
The hardest thing about leaving is feeling that I have not done enough. After 15 work days of Mucking, tarping roofs, helping to install counters and sinks, and cleaning out yards it just seems that I haven't done enough. I want to save every starfish on the beach, not just the ones I can pickup and through back in the water.
Tomorrow just after lunch I'll pack up the van and begin the long trip home. I have had an EXPERIENCE here that I will never forget. I hope that some of you get the opportunity to come and work here in New Orleans.
