A week later, now that I am back to school work, real food (meat), and hot showers, I am so glad I went on this trip. Almost everyone I’ve spoken to has had a reaction along the lines of, “I didn’t know they still needed help down there… that was so long ago….” Even if people don’t hear anything about these Spring Break trips other than that they exist, it is still getting the word out that there must be some reason people are still going there. I’m glad that I heard about this trip and went, and felt like I actually accomplished something - my dirty clothes, scratched hands, and millions of pictures by Mordechai prove it. Hopefully people will continue to go down, and everyone there will have a house to live in. And hopefully the levees don’t break again and destroy all of our hard work. And hopefully people will stop blaming the engineers. Engineers are people too. Lastly, thanks to everyone for making this trip so great! As fulfilling as the work was, this would not have been a fun trip at all if everyone was boring, and that was definitely not the case. See everyone around… Rikki
