About The Road Trip

Hello! This blog will follow Alex Marino, Christina Drake, and Henry Lin as they travel from New Orleans to California and beyond. This Krewe du NOLA is a bunch of long-term volunteers who have served two or three years as Construction Assistants with Project Homecoming, the rebuilding ministry of the Presbytery of South Louisiana partnered with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PH has built over 125 homes in the Greater New Orleans area that were affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. We are raising $30,000 before September 1st to help provide a living stipend for FIVE long-term volunteers for one year. Help to rebuild New Orleans by coming to a presentation, eating some New Orleans cookin’ and bringing more people to this blog!

Help 'Coming Home' play in your town!

Learn more about us on NBC! Call your local NBC station and tell them you want to see "Coming Home: Hurricane Katrina 5 Years Later," a Horizon of the Spirit series program. Check out the preview on the bottom of the page.

Cupertino, CA


After traveling the last 3 days from New Orleans to California, we finally got some well deserved rest in Cupertino, CA. While there is still plenty of work to be done, it's nice to know we don't have to hit the road again for another week. Today Alex gave a Minute For Mission at Sunnyvale Presbyterian where we will be doing our first presentation this Wednesday, August 11th. 


We also visited Roux Louisiana Kitchen in San Jose and met the manager Heather. She was extremely excited about the fundraiser. Alex's family immediately welcomed us as if we were part of their family, which I am deeply grateful for. They took us out for both lunch and dinner, and each Alex, Christina, and I received some fortune cookies that gave us some affirmation in our work.
