Team 5 - Report from the field

We arrived safely. We had a lovely evening at Victory Place. Peggy served us some chili, and cookies and bread. It was a nice surprise.

On Sunday we worked on sorting and wrapping Christmas presents for the children hit by Katrina. That was fun.

Monday, we organized the warehouse, so that they can start moving things to their new facility, and we also unloaded and sorted Christmas presents.

Do not tell any perspective women volunteers that the showers are out doors MASH style. It was very, very, very, Cold!!!!! We haven't been able to go out into the areas as yet, I really hope we get at least one chance to go out into the area and help some people directly. That's about all for now.

[Editor's Note: Sorry Gail, when the new building is done, the showers will be indoors and have hot water ;-) ]
