Today has been a crazy day... a day full of calling volunteers to see if they can come in and help someone RIGHT NOW!, calling people who filled out their assessments to clarify what exactly they need, a copy project of about 1500 copies that had me running from one end of the building to the other to make sure both of the copiers still had paper, staples, and that the finisher (finished copy holder thing) wasn't too full causing the copier to just roll over with weakness, etc. At the end of the day, Todd from Samaritan's Purse came in to talk with us a bit... turns out the HOOGE cavassing project we were scrambling to recruit for was the first stage for what they do... they bring in people, equipment, and knowledge to areas affected by disaster and start people on the road to recovery. They'll go into a home and do what they need to do to get the home ready for rebuild, which means tearing out all the bad stuff and preparing it to dry, which takes about three weeks. They do all of this at no cost to the homeowner or the local agencies... they're literally "good Samaritans". They pretty much rock. And a lot of them travel around doing this full time... kind of friendly, house-repairing nomads.
Anyway, now our day is done... it seems to have flown by! I'm about ready to sleep. I'll try and post something in the morning...
Night, all! ~T
