Hey BROS! Following is some detailed information on the December trip to NOLA. Ohio University's chapter of Aphio has been involved with Saint Bernard Project since I before I pledged as a freshman (so, so long ago). Every year we send volunteers to help rebuild houses for families that cannot afford to do so, so they can return home. Saint Bernard Project is a non-profit organization that was started after Hurricane Katrina, and has won contests such as the Pepsi Refresh Contest and CNN's Hero of the Year. The trip will be from December 5th-11th. We will be staying at Camp Hope, a volunteer hostel that costs $25/day INCLUDING 3 meals a day. That is not to say that we do not go out to eat once or twice, or go out and enjoy the New Orleans culture some nights. Generally we carpool down to NOLA using family vans or cars that are decent on gas; it usually costs about $55 per person round trip. Generally I tell people to plan on spending around $300. Here are some videos about New Orleans, and how the area is still suffering: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_vY4EaYC04 What our fabulous volunteer experience will look like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42YoZMl868E Shoot me an email if you're interested- no commitment is needed yet. In LFS, Gaby
