notes: (3/7/07): Michelle spoke with Pat Bean - Will be starting community center in May ======================================================= You will be a member of a team of individuals who are volunteering to invest a part of themselves and their precious time to help other people. BGF projects combine the skills of craftspeople with the energy and enthusiasm of dedicated vounteers and the local community. Pearlington, Mississippi: "As each shelter goes up, so do the spirits of the people in Pearlington. The Building Goodness Foundation left so much more in this community than just buildings." The small town of Pearlington, Mississippi was virtually washed away in the 28-foot surge that hit as Hurricane Katrina passed through on August 29th, 2005. While most residents were evacuated before the storm, nearly all of the town's structures were destroyed by the hurricane, leaving a wake of mud, mould, and tangled debris. Pearlington citizens have returned home to debris-littered lots where their homes once stood. Months after the hurricane ravaged their town, most families found themselves living in 8' x 30' FEMA trailers with no place to store their belongings, leading some to call their beloved town "the forgotten city." Pearlington may be lost but it is not forgotten. During the first stage of reconstruction, BGF volunteers have been building 12' x 16' shelters that families can use for additional living space or storage. Once all the shelters have been built, the second stage of constructing a community center will begin. Each BGF team travels to Pearlington for a week of work. Be prepared for long hours under trying conditions. Also keep in mind that the citizens of Pearlington have lost everything they have. In the end, your kindness, patience, and empathy are just as important as the skills and craftmanship that you bring to this project. Your work to provide shelter will make a world of difference to the people of Pearlington. Accomodations: BGF volunteers should be prepared to camp while working in Pearlington. There are 2 eight-person bunkhouses with mattresses at the camp site. Meals: Meals will be provided by local churches and other volunteer groups. There are cooking facilities and a mess tent at the camp site. Clean drinking water is readily available.
