Some New News is we will be finding out our next project TOMORROW!! WOOT WOOT!! I'm super excited and everyone on my team is! So I'll have to make sure I blog about that after we find out. Also we found out yesterday at our team meeting that our team is a lucky team in which we get to take TWO 15 passenger vans back to Sacramento... you ask why? Well I guess when the AmeriCorps Campus in Iowa opened they were short a few Vans so they borrowed them from the Sacramento Campus. Well now those vans are in the Gulf and are going to be driven to Orange, TX which is right on the boarder of Texas and Louisiana and then they will be picked up by a few STL (Support Team Leaders) and taken here to Austin in which they will be driven back to Sacramento. Since my team has 6 drivers we are one of the lucky teams that gets to drive it back. So.... pretty much each person will get a bench to themselves in the van except for a few cause we will be loading all our cargo into them. So everyone was pretty excited about that!!
As for ISP (Individual Service Projects) side note... I feel like i should make a glossary of all the acronyms that I use in my blog entries lol anyways.... We did an ISP last Sunday helping with the blue dog rescue. They were having a photo shoot thing that people could bring in their dogs and have their picture taken with Santa and so we helped set everything up and helped dressed the dogs along with man the registration table and help with clean up afterward. It was really fun and there was this puppy that was up for adoption that we got to play with his name was PeeJay but he answered to Mr. Pigs, piggy, or pigman but he was adorable.
I just realized I haven't blogged since I went back to Galveston to see more devastation... So I'll post some pictures. The experience of going back was very powerful especially since I just discovered yesterday that on Google Map I don't know if you have every looked at the street view but you can actually see the houses and stuff. Well they were taken before the hurricane happened so i was looking on there and looking at before and after shots which makes the whole thing very emotional.
Well thats all I got... Stay tuned to find out where I'm headed next!!
