December 2011 Updates

On December 21, 2011

We were at the Boys & Girls Club of the Gulf Coast Forest Heights unit working with children of all ages on origami for the holidays.  The volunteer group is from Florida Community College in Ft. Myers.

Email from a former volunteer:

To All!

New friends made through the awesome task of rebuilding Biloxi's destroyed homes brought out the best in human compassion. I, too, lost everything that I had in Mississippi when Katrina blew and washed away The St. Charles Condos on Beach Blvd. So, my volunteer time became personal, and my heart filled with joy when I experienced the appreciation of peoples whose homes I helped to rebuild. I will not forget it... Thanks for the opportunity.
