United Way Alternative Spring Break update, day 6.
Today my team worked at a habitat for humanity site in Gulfport, MS.
There we met our stellar site leader Spikes who gave us all the guidence and encouragement that we needed. The group seperated into task based units as they tackled projects such as roofing, framing, and siding.
The project went really well and it left us all with a real sense of accomplishment as we pulled away and admired the fruits of our labor. Check back tomorrow as I post pictures of all the action!
United Way Alternative Spring Break, day 5.
Today was the big day, the reason everyone came, time to get our hands dirty!!! After breakfast ASB'ers from across the country loaded into vans and headed to the job sites.
My group along with another headed to the boys and girls club to help them move into their new state of the art facility. After hurricane Katrina destroyed all of the boys and girls clubs in southern Mississippi they were moved into temporary facilities.
Finally after years of inadequate space the club is moving into a new home. Their new club will allow them to better fufill their mission of giving boys and girls of the gulf coast the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and positive enviroment.
A big thanks goes to all the ASB'ers from across the country for helping United Way to make it all possible.
