GO NOLA update


Since my last update I've had a chance to meet the photography lead; which was very cool. I went from disappointed about not being an actual photographer to excited again. I will get to edit the pics and then sit with the families to talk to them about what pictures they like and get their information to send them the pics! So I will get a good 20 minutes with each family to sit and talk with them. Which means I'll get to hear their undoubtedly amazing stories. I'm hoping I get a chance to use the computer once a day so I can share my stories.
I also was able to meet with my "Go Group." There are 8 of us in a group out of about 300 total. They break us down into smaller groups so we can really get to know a group of people who will be going on the trip with us. Our group definintely is a cool group. Everyone is so nice and I really couldn't be more excited about going. Most people in my group have already gone in years past. I hear it's super fun but also emotional. I'm excited for both aspects. I really can't wait to meet the effected families and hear their stories. What they've been through, what they continue to go through and I hope to help in any way I can.
Things are looking up..........
