Come One, Come All
Our 4th New Orleans Service Trip
When: October 8-13, 2009 (Columbus Day Weekend)
Where: Ninth Ward to help renovate Drew Elementary and Douglass High School.
Why: These schools and families have limited resources and were among the hardest hit during Katrina.
What We Hope to Accomplish:
- Purchase and install bulletin boards outside of every classroom
- Reorganize and install shelving in the bookroom.
- Organize teacher’s closets in classrooms
- Paint the main entrance and several offices
- Assist with landscaping, cleanup work and other outdoor projects
What We Need:
- School supply discounts
- Paint
- Children’s books, athletic equipment (balls, bats, mitts, etc.)
- Misc. supplies (ask us)
- Travel vouchers for airfare and/or rental cars. (There are several skilled volunteers willing to come down but need a little help defraying costs.)
- Donations
Our crew leaders will be Michael Taylor and Ken Kremer. Global Hope will organize the work projects, tools and supplies and materials. Volunteers are responsible for their own travel expenses.
Discover the fun and revel in the satisfaction of volunteering for this exciting service trip. To sign up, please contact us.
