Alison is on the far left of the top picture. She is one of the construction interns (like me) and has a been to several countries. She is Colombian and can speak Spanish fluently. She went to school in Columbia and served in Africa for two years in the Peace Corps.Maggie's mom is in the chair. She is a very sweet woman and one heck of a cook!
Playing the guitar is Carolyn. She works in the office as a disaster preparedness coordinator so that people are ready for storms like Hurricane Ike before they actually hit.
Luke, on the right of the second picture, is our volunteer coordinator (schedules the volunteers to come in). He is a Baylor graduate and an avid sports fan. He has done some freelance writing and covered the Baylor woman's basketball team.
On the bottom picture:
To the very far left on the couch is the "boss" Gary. He's the one I feel like I've got to earn his respect . . . He's a good guy and I feel like I know him a lot better after last nights party. He's a good guitarist and he writes songs for pretty much every volunteer group that comes in.
Next to Gary on the couch is Jim a.k.a. Jimbobwae. He is a volunteer and has quite a sense of humor (as does pretty much the whole group, we had quite a few laughs last night.)
The young woman in the blue shirt is Nikki. She is also a construction intern. She is a graduate from North Carolina in English but is very interested in being a city planner.
Somehow Maggie didn't make it into any of these pictures. She is kind of the leader of the whole operation. She is very knowledgeable in relief work and did a lot of it in New Orleans. She works in the office and corresponds with all of us and the Diocese of Texas. She also chooses which houses we work on and corresponds with the homeowners.
