NEW ORLEANS, LA. i’ve been busy doing compost runs to the garden (garden wish list coming soon!), building shelves at st. mary’s, spending time at h.o.p.e. with new friends, and interviewing volunteers with elise. we interviewed three people from massachusetts last night, two young high schoolers and a chaperone. i hope we can gather more interviews before we leave, but both elise and i feel pretty confident that we’ll be here for a while, working on building with the community and interviewing for a story project to bring back to chicago.

please check out the donation page and see if you can contribute anything from the wishlist. almost anything can help, and most importantly, come here if you have the time and resources. there is much that words and pictures cannot describe.
