Well, we all made it home safe and sound. Actually, three of our group are staying an extra week. That is what happens sometimes -- the act of helping gets in your blood. There is so much work to do a person feels compelled to stay to continue the good work that is being done at Operation Helping Hands.
Leaving NOLA was a mixed bag of emotions. Tears filled my eyes as I said good by to the long term volunteers and all the people of OHH at St. Ramonds and again when I said good-bye to my new friends in the group.
Thanks to all of you for sending your prayers and energy. It was a truly remarkable experience. There is sure to be an article in an upcoming issue of the Messenger that you wont want to miss.
For now, I have to get back to the daily tasks of everyday life and help get the paper out today.
Laissez le bon roulement de périodes!
Peace.
About Me
- Vivian Clark, Messy News Girl
- Brainerd, Garrison, Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota, United States
- I have been a writer and photographer for the Mille Lacs Messenger for around six years now. Messin' with the news is what it is - unedited, uncensored and sometimes, perhaps, unnerving. You might find some behind-the-scenes -- story-behind-the-story type story or stuff from stories that never made the paper. There may be weekend entertainment info, maybe backstage interviews. Or even stories about my crazy family and friends and our wild adventures. You just never know what will show up on Messin' With the News. So come back often. If you like it, tell your friends. If you don't like it, tell me. (Of course, you can tell me if you like it, too!) I am always willing to listen.
