Okay, so we're new to this.
We wanted to test it out before we got to New Orleans. We're Horizon Unitarian Universalist Church from Carrollton Texas. We're a group of 12-13 people, including 4 or five youth from the church's youth program. Our church is big on helping others, so when my dad (Frank) found out about this program, he was all for it. We contacted the church and got a small group together.
The group will be leaving on Sunday June 24. Our return is on Saturday June 30.
We are all really looking forward to our trip (and some are a little nervous)!
While living in Camp Hope, we will try to keep this posted updated every day.
Tata for now!

Proud to know all of you! It's wonderful for our church to be giving a hand in making a pathetic effort that our country has made into only a sad one. We alla are proud of each of you.
