Hickory, dickory, dock




Arriving Sunday morning, these three guys from Hickory North Carolina joined the village manager for church; what a great way to start the week .

These volunteers spent the entire week working on Feltus's home here in east New Orleans. With help from a few members of another group they managed to tile and grout two bath tubs, trim some twenty windows - several with very complicated trapezoidal shapes - and paint a couple of rooms. They also scraped the floors in preparation of flooring installation. One of the real joys this group had was regular and frequent interaction with the homeowner and his family.

One of the guys, Zeke, was a resident of nearby Chalmette when Katrina struck. Zeke added some understanding to the politics of this area. We really appreciate all this group was able to accomplish here.


Team Leader, Rick on the right.
