Wouldn't you like to know...?

Oftentimes volunteers will ask an HH2G staff member what we do when teams aren't volunteering with us... and the staff member will begin to rattle off a list of not-so-fascinating tasks that usually loses the attention of the asker, or surprises them because the answer was different than what they expected. I'm sure that there are plenty of you who continue to wonder what we do in our spare time, so I though I'd offer a little explanation:

When we aren't riding motorcycles, taking Tango lessons, or traveling the world, we are holding office hours and progressing the work of community development that HH2G is a part of. Many of you have heard of the Spirit of Praise building that houses some of our equipment- this building has the destiny of a community center: with after-school tutoring, summer youth camp, a community garden, and events for the elderly people and folks of all ages to come together as a community (we like to dream about how this will look 5 years from now). In addition to this development, HH2G staff spends much of their time getting the word out about the work still to be done in NOLA. We have an extremely limited advertising budget, so we have limited ways of spreading the news. This is where you come in... PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! Or if you have any advertising suggestions, please feel free to pass them on to us! I think we can all agree that we'd like to see the residents of New Orleans thriving after suffering so much devastation... so please join us in encouraging folks to come down to work with HH2G!
