NEW YORK GROUP 2009

Well, the best salsa may not come from New York but one of the best groups this year did! Tony Sidor and his wife, Kathy, brought a great group from New York. This group consisted of Mike, Lora, Andrea, Jim, Lisa, Hysha, Hallie, Mark, Kelly and Kathryn. They worked on the landscape out front and did a great job of getting the property to look like it did before the hurricanes last year. They installed cabinets (built by the Washington group) for the little houses. They built and installed shelves. They were busy every single day. They had a great time of working with the kids for another VBS (which they loved dearly). They were a great group that can certainly come back anytime! Thanks, guys, for a great week of work and a loving spirit that will be remembered for a long time to come!

WASHINGTON GROUP 2009

What another great group from Washington! The group consisted of Kim, Deann, Billie Jo, Clayton, Crystal, Jay, Jordan, Josiah, Kasilyn and Lindsay. They worked very hard building new storage bins for all 4 of the little houses. They had a great VBS for all the kids. They moved more dirt to the front of the wall. They loved on all the kids. All in all they had a great week and the kids are still talking about it. All of the group are certainly welcome to return next year.

ANOTHER IOWA GROUP!!

Well, we actually thought this group was given a reprieve from digging in the septic systems, but not so! It seems Larry found another digging project for the field bed for the new septic system for the kitchen and Drex and Jo's place. This group included Paul & Nancy, Kevin & Brenda. Nancy, Ken Burrow's sister, was the only one here before. They had a great week (but I'm not too happy about losing so many "Farkel" games)! They worked hard and played hard with all the kids. It was a great week for us too! You guys were awesome and can return any time you want!! Ken didn't come this time because of a mission trip to Africa. Ken, hope to see you guys next time, too!

IOWA GROUP 7-2009

Well, we thought this Iowa group was going to break the cycle of digging in our spetic systems. But, it didn't work out that way. This group spent quite some time digging out a clogged 4 inch line behind the big house and front field bed! So the cycle continues. There's another group coming this weekend from Iowa!!!!!Look out and be prepared! This group was brought in by group leader, Steve. It consisted of Diane, Heather, Amy, Annette, Nancie, Curt, and Jon. They were a great group and got so much accomplished. Besides digging in the septic system, they painted, repaired, taught, built beds and loved on the kids! The kids loved them and woke up this morning missing them so much! You guys can come back anytime!! Thanks so much for all your love, help and concern!

Georgia Group 7-9-2009

Jo and I just got back in time for the Georgia group's visit to HAF Project. What a great group. Holly (group leader), Meredith, Caren, Erin and Troy made up the group. They painted, cleaned the kitchen and dining area, worked with the food program, rearranged the clothing and food depots, played and loved on the kids, helped celebrate the July birthdays and much, much more. They are certainly welcome back any time! Thanks for your hard work!!

Crew # 2

Our second group from Tenn. was here and did a great job. What a group of hard workers. They were willing to step right in with the work. It was nice to have a nursing teacher on hand also, since some of our kids decided to come down with the chicken pox. Thanks to all of you for all that you did.
