Camp Hope

Hey guys, so this will be a very short blog but we found out today where we are going on our first strike. Green Team 2, along with I think seven or eight other teams will be heading down to Louisiana to go work at Camp Hope (right near New Orleans). While other teams will have different duties our team is going to man the kitchen. What this means is that all 12 members of Green Team 2 along with a couple of professional chefs (hopefully 3 or 4) will cook for an estimated 500 volunteers a day. I'm pretty excited about the idea yet also really scared. I was hoping to do some manual labor like construction or destruction but they say we should be able to do some on the weekends or our off time for ISP hours. Either way it will be good to get back to the gulf. Our team will be split into two groups, one to work the morning shift (4am-noonish) and the second to work the 2nd shift (noonish till 7ish). As you can probably tell I don't have all of the details yet so I'm still lost on a couple of things.

But here is the web site for what I believe is Camp Hope. Its called the New Orleans area Habitat for Humanity... http://www.habitat-nola.org/index.php

I'll keep you guys all up to date with everything else as soon as I find out more information.
