Good Ole' Midwesterners



 
The Midwestern folks of America are known for their hard-work ethic and generosity towards their neighbors.  You can imagine how excited we were to host a team of 48 people from Indiana University!  This team combined of guys and girls from IU worked efficiently to complete several jobs, and to bring a few other jobs close to completion- working for homeowners such as Mr. Campbell and Mr. Desoto "Bobby" Jackson, and the rehab center Teen Challenge.   

We at HH2G enjoy facilitating a memorable experience for the volunteers that work alongside us.  One of the ways we do this is to encourage trips to other parts of the city that they are not rebuilding in, partake in beignets and chicory coffee at the famous Cafe du Monde, and of course get a taste of the authentic cajun food that southern Louisiana is known for.  The IU team fortunately joined us in the month of March, smack dab in the middle of crawfish season!  Before this team left New Orleans they were treated to a shrimp boil in the bywater, and the next day we provided them boiled crawfish- yum!

Thanks to the IU team for their hard-work, you've completely raised the bar to the other Midwesterners coming down to the Crescent City!
