Project Green Light...Go team Cali!

Today we volunteered with Project Greenlight. We replaced old incandescent light bulbs with CFL's in people's homes, because they save energy, carbon output, and money for the homeowner. It was really fun and enjoyable because we got the chance to meet the people of New Orleans. These locals lived in the most intricate and beautiful historical homes. We learned about their lives and about the culture of the city by just simply coming over for fifteen minutes or so to change light bulbs while having a chat and even some homemade iced tea :)

Our second trip to NOLA.....New agency, new group of volunteers, new volunteer opportunities - same fabulous New Orleans. It's great to return to one of my places on the earth. The need here for relief remains as does the kind spirit and unique culture of NOLA! Happy to launch into another week of service with such a great group of students!

Back in the Big Easy with some of my favorite volunteers! Despite the slow progress that has been made since the storm, the town's spirit is still lively and everyone is full of southern hospitality. Today's Green light mission was a success and we all agree it needs to be implemented in every state.
