Pardon the lack of formatting and photographs, it's much easier to update this on the weekend when I have a bit more time.
As I learn more about it I will update the blog, but Extreme Makeover Home Edition came to Chalmette (the Parish seat of St. Bernard) yesterday where they announced they are rebuilding a church in the area. This morning, several people with shirts with the aforementioned name on it could be seen at breakfast.
This brings up another point, there are several volunteer groups here other than Habitat. Among those represented are AmeriCorps NCCC, Samaritan's Purse, and PRC Compassion. The point being that you don't have to be with Habitat to be here.
The final thing is that one of the new couples that joined us today is celebrating there 18th wedding anniversary, today. How cute is that?

that's cool. i'm glad to help anyone who's willing to come to st. bernard who wants to help. i'm not certain what i can do, but i'll clarify or point anyone to any information i have. in case you can't tell, i think this area deserves much more attention than is given in most media.
