Doing our part :)

Wednesday it was another day of painting/construction, working on Gale’s house and gutting the other house. We got decked out in our gear and ready to get dirty. Another great day of progress…

For dinner, we were signed up to prepare Jumbalaya for ~100 musicians and other low income folks. We cleaned up and drove straight to St. Ann's Church to cook whew, and I'll admit we make a mean Jumbalaya (with the help of Zataran’s mix). The chef we worked with, Ida, was great and welcomed us with open arms...lots of daaahhhlins and baaabys came from her jolly mouth as we prepped dinner with her guidance.

We served the dinner to the locals, while musicians played live for us in the background; it was quite relaxing and enjoyable. We had a chance to mingle and get to know some of the residents in need; it was definitely eye opening for our group.

Another wonderful couple days in NOLA…
