“Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after”
This modified saying, one of a bunch which were decorating the walls of “The Shed Barbecue”, where a part of our group enjoyed our last dinner by spare ribs and sandwiches (while the rest of us made a short trip to Mobile, Alabama) shows pretty less what we could experience here during this outstanding week. So much has happened... in our “small, individual world” as well as around the CORE Camp and too much is left to do that one wishes to stay for continuing. As we got our instructions on Monday we could hear about people who are returning for the seventh time – now, I guess, we all or better said y'all know the reason why. It's not because you're addicted to the scrumptious meals the CORE Camp kitchen is providing, it's not caused by the love of sharing a special camp spirit with amazing people you'd have never met a lifetime... moreover it is the message that rips into the heart of everyone who is down here: THEY NEED HELP. And our group helped. We helped others and we were helped... learning about our limits as well as about those of others. While we tore down rotten, black molded sheetrock to give some families the initial help for a new beginning we also could watch changes in many different ways...every day and every where. Thank y'all for this extraordinary experience of helping and giving hope... and seeing Miss D's bright eyes- it has shaped our lives and will hopefully guide us in the future.
