For those going on the St. Luke’s NOLA mission trip, strong work. For those not going, you’re missing out. But fear not, the goal isn’t just to go this once and never think about NOLA and its awesomeness again. I hope and pray that we go back again and again. So while you are clearly missing out now, wait for it, we’ll go back.
I initially got involved in this trip because who doesn’t love a trip to NOLA? But when I mentioned that I also happen to work for Georgia Interfaith Power and Light and that we would love to do some Home Energy Audit Training and some Creation Care education, let’s just say we were all excited. So now I am going not only as a member of St. Luke’s, but I am also going to share all of the stored knowledge of Georgia Interfaith Power & Light with as many people in NOLA as will listen. My co-worker, Katy Hinman, is also going as a representative of GIPL. She’s not Episcopalian, but we won’t hold that against her.
I would particularly like to thank Alex Sherrill for his help in finding donations for the Home Energy Audit Training. With his help we will be able to take to NOLA examples of energy efficient products to use in our trainings such as; CFL’s, weather stripping materials, wraps for water heaters and other products. It’s pretty amazing what we can do when we all pool our resources and talents.
Katy and I are going down to NOLA on Sunday September 13, three days earlier then the rest of the group. Keep checking the blog for our preparation updates and during the early part of our travel week we will let you know what we are up to as well.
