Building around the nation

During Sandy relief, Americorps assigned us to different places in Ortley Beach, the first two days and in Union Beach, the third day. They were in plenty of need for volunteers and were delighted to see us coming and helping in massive numbers compared to what they have had. The rebuilding in Ortley Beach has just begun and therefore, we were assigned many project involving shoveling snow so homeowners could get to their house and start demolishing. I thought it was cool since we would be doing the complete opposite in New Orleans. New Orleans building is going amazing. With a group of Bonners, we have done so much in the house we have been working on. We have put up a ceiling and many walls. The work we have been doing has taught me the importance of teamwork. I am excited to see the finished product.
