Dear Friends,

I have had a little trouble getting out of the country….( I always knew housework wasn’t healthy – 2 days before staging for Namibia was to begin I was the recipient of a spider bite that dragged me to St. Lukes).   I am in the process of being re-deployed to Kenya as a member of the Peace Corps, Small Enterprise Development Team.

In the meantime I am all better and this Spring I am working with ‘Katrina’ efforts to rebuild the community in New Orleans.  I will be leaving for Africa again in early June.  Here is the current information about the St. Bernard Project, until then – Stay Loose!

The St. Bernard Project has rebuilt homes for more than 350 families with the help of 32,000+ volunteers. With thousands of families still unable to afford to rebuild the homes they own, and with 200+ families in New Orleans still residing in FEMA trailers, SBP is determined to finish the job.  Since Mardi Gras is all about tradition and family, we ask you to donate and "Get on the Float" with St. Bernard Project so we can continue to restore the traditions of our deserving families and bring them home.
