SBP Wrap-up

Lots of wrap-up and reflection this past week and weekend. After a productive week of doing finishing work on my house, the weekend came where we put together some final reports, debriefs, and also said our goodbyes to the St Bernard Project staff.

Throughout our time here we've heard about many experiences through the storm, first-hand accounts. I was also able to see some pictures which I included in an earlier entry. However, we were really able to see what it was like when our team watched a home video of the flood itself that is on YouTube.

I'm including it here. What you'll see in the video is very much like how it was described by many of the residents.

Of course, we also had to move out of Camp Hope this morning. Packing and cleaning took a good while, and we had some sad moments saying brief goodbyes to other teams who are remaining at the camp. However, before then, this weekend we had a fantastic game of soccer against our fellow badger team, a rematch game of sorts after our first game of ultimate frisbee about a month ago against them. In true team spirit, we all decided to wear the same shirts, which happened to be a Global Youth Service Day T that we received during our Day of Service. We didn't win, but the fact still remains that we take awesome pictures:
