We're Here!
After stopping to enjoy the zoo in Alexandria, LA and driving through lots of rain, we arrived at UMCOR Sager-Brown in Baldwin, LA Sunday evening around 7ish. AND -- After getting our room assignments, learning some rules, unloading the vans, and getting situated we headed into the next town to have a little bite to eat and then returned to Sager Brown to get a good night sleep to start our week off right. Today we began the day by meeting with all the other groups that are here to volunteer and the staff of Sager Brown to go over some orientation info.
Once done, we all headed off to our jobs. Some of us worked in the Depot packing health, school, and layette kits. Others worked in the sewing room making school bags for school kits. The rest of us went into a neighboring community (Franklin) and worked on painting the outside of a house. It has been a great day so far and we are excited to see what the rest of the week holds for us. Some of us already saw a alligator already! (Don't worry though...it was in the water...and we were safely up on the dock! Till later --
