Back to Pearlington

In a few weeks, our group heads back to Pearlington for a week of work with the neighbors there. We will be camping out in the plastic pods provided by the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA). I almost wrote our group from Summerville, but one of the guys going with us is flying down from Boston. Our group should be larger than the Mighty 13 from April. About half of that group from April is going this time. I think that we are doing a great job giving an opportunity to members and friends of the the church to use their talents. Hopefully, the planning and recruiting will get easier. We still have to battle the thoughts of a lot of people that the Katrina-damaged areas should be back on their feet by now. Once you go there, you will see that the scale is so large that 5 years may not be enough.

After all, Charleston had pretty well recovered from Hugo after 2 years. I will scan in an article in the Post and Courier from Saturday that made this type of statement. Enough for now...

Pearlington here we come in a few short weeks. We have a few spots left to go if you are interested for the week of October 6 - 13.
