The first team has arrived.

The first group of volunteers has finally arrived safely in Vancleave. After spending the afternoon in New Orleans, we met those who had driven down at the Shed and had dinner before competing the drive to Vancleave.

They are still working on the foundation and so our first day will be spent on four job sites. On two we will be cleaning up construction debris. On one we will be painting the interior.

The last one is the Waxman house. This is the site where last December we saw the tent the family had been living in since Katrina. We will be painting the exterior. This is where we first had the idea to build The Vermont House. We have come full circle.
