Hello everyone!!
We have one day left of work and things are coming along nicely, but still a lot of work needs to get done. My main job I would say has been painting and I am proud to say that fresh paint really does brighten a place up. I think it is important to remember that all tasks make a difference; big and small. The people we have met are so grateful that we are here but I think we are even more grateful to help. It is an amazing and overwhelming experience that I would recommend to anyone if they are given the opportunity.

Trevor, Gord and Rob just came in and it is after dark. They were going to work a little bit longer but the sound of gun shots made them think twice. They are here and they are smiling.

We got the siding done around the curve and Ms. June and Vera came in and I talked to them for half an hour and they were amazed and pleased with the progress. We talked about how 50 kids could turn into 150 to 500 and they really loved the fence, the siding and the floor. This made us feel really good. There seems to be a lot of crack in this city.

HI! What other unbelieveable trip. Thanks to your generosity another group of people have been helped in NOLA. The people on the trip have worked long days to ensure that the daycare center is finished before we leave. The enthusiasm and leadership skills of Mike, Mike, Steve, Trevor and Gord have been a great asset to the organization of people and materials. Huge thanks again to Cam for his leadership and support for the people of NOLA.
Looking forward to being back on Saturday and sharing our experiences with you.
Take care,
Lyle
