About The Road Trip

My photo
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.

Hard at work.


"The War Room":  Christina, Alex and Henry hard at work, ignoring the beautiful calming yard and hot tub in the background.


After our first full night of sleep, we are hard at work once again.  Today is all about preparation and networking, and we're pulling out all the stops with great results.  I woke up at 6:30 this morning and suddenly remembered that a high school friend of mine is a big time morning DJ at a Christian radio station in Columbus, OH.  What a coincidence ...  I am flying to Ohio on the 20th right after I leave California!  She has graciously agreed to get us a plug (and possibly an interview) on her show!  Catch her show online or check out their Facebook page:

Thanks, Stacy McKay and 1049 The River!!!  You rock (Christian Rock, that is!  LOL) 

Alright, alright .... back to work!
