My team and I are wrapping up our time in Dover. Thank goodness. We have all been struggling with cabin fever as well as the lack of work assigned to us. I am not going to sugar coat it. Dover has been tough. We dont see any other teams, we live and work in the same location, and everyone is frustrated with the work we are doing.
But we have been doing work. Yesterday, we finsished a rain garden we started to build at the beginning of the week. No one knew how to how to build one...so figuring that out was a challenge in itself. By hand we dug out the sod,the shape of the garden, and ten inches in the deepest spot. But it's done now, and is one more thing we can cross off the list.
Yes, you read the title of this post right... WOLF 3 is off to NEW ORLEANS for 2nd round. And after Dover, there could not be a better place to go. For a lot of us, New Orelans is our dream spike. We will be working with two sponsors over this round, so its called a split round (vocab). The first one is a Catholic Charities organization called Operation Hands On. They are a volunteer organization that helps volunteer groups while they are down in the Gulf. The second, is Camp Hope in St. Bernard Parish. Camp Hope is the location where volunteers stay when they are in NOLA. The location has moved a couple of times and wil be moving again. Our task is to rehab and convert an old Catholic School into the new Camp Hope. I am very excited for both of these projects. There will also be multiple AmeriCoprs teams down there as well.
I have to jet. Today we are tableing for DNERR at Dover's Spring Festival called Dover Days.
In Peace,
Stephanie
