Where!
With 7 votes, we have decided to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity in the Gulf Coast to help rebuild homes for those affected by Katrina. We will be working in the Musicians’ Village and are to report to the intersection of: N. Prieur and Alvar Sts. for our exact assignment.
When!
Monday, July 13 - Sunday July 19!
This would have us flying in July 13th so we could work from the 14th-18th and then fly back on the 19th. However, the only requirement is to volunteer one full day so if you can't come for the entire time or if you want to take a few days off to just hang out in New Orleans, that's okay too! (Just please let me know when you confirm which days you'll be joining us so I can register you accordingly.)
The volunteering work schedule is 7:45 AM to 3:15 PM on Tuesday through Saturday. The nice thing about this schedule is we'll start earlier in the day, when it should be a little cooler and then we'll be out in time to have free time at night which people can use to rest or go out to see some of the city and take in the amazing food and culture that New Orleans has to offer.
