The Day Before Departure

For those that don't know, we have been in the midst of planning an "Alternative Reading Week" for students in residence at Brock. This is the first time in school history that an initiative like this has been offered exclusively to "Residence" students, and it's been an initiative that was received by the students with a remarkable amount of enthusiasm. The goal of this little bad boy ("blog") is to attempt to post some items throughout the week for anyone that finds they would be interested.

Well, the day has finally come. All the hard work and preparations are just about finalized and we had our final meeting with the group of students last night. 53 VERY excited people that can't wait to get started with the Habitat for Humanity adventure. The final presentation we gave them was focused on the socio-economic status of the New Orleans region as well as some additional reminders. We load up the bus tomorrow morning at 06:40, and should be on the road by 07:00. We'll be driving until we hit a small town called Elizabethtown, in Kentucky. We'll be in a hotel for the night and then back on the road on Sunday, arriving at the All Saints United Church Sunday evening, where we'll be greeted by the host members of the church. I'm not sure when we'll be able to gain access to computers while down there, but I'll try and post some thoughts as often as I can.

Hope all is well. Talk to you soon!
