Hurricane Worker's Reunion

This evening I worked and attended an event on campus that was basically a bunch of people that live in the twin cities and surrounding areas who have gone down to New Orleans since the hurricane and helped. They brought in a pastor from First Street in N.O. and a woman who works at the church, there was also a movie that was a documentary type film that talked a lot about what type of work was being done in N.O. and what needed to be done and what people were doing. It was really encouraging to see so many people there and to see that there is so much being done and that that many people are dedicated to helping our fellow citizens.

On a different note tomorrow I will be attending the pre-conference part of HU-CORE (Hamline University - Conference on Race and Ethnicity). I am very excited about this conference because I think it will give me an opportunity to stretch my beliefs and to cement what I really believe and feel. I will be sure to write about it soon.
