service day photos

Here's a few more pictures from the trip. I don't think we've posted many yet from our service site on Saturday. We were at a place called Sebastopol Plantation. It was located in the middle of St. Bernard's Parish. The plantation property was very large but in need of much fixing up. The house was beautiful and filled with tons of antiques. The owner of the property, Miss Alberta, is turning it into a non-profit space to become a community center, with hopes of holding community meetings and hosting school groups for educational purposes. It is a beautiful place and Miss Alberta has a wonderful dream for the property. It was fun to be at this true southern plantation and take part in meaningful work.

This front porch is where we gathered for lunch and to take shelter from the storm (see pictures below).

Here's Miss Alberta with Diane.
