Days Eleven and Twelve, 9.28.08 & 9.29.08

Hi Team,

Greetings from Pasadena, TX! It’s only a short 35 minute drive from Houston but a transition into our journey to southern Texas, more significant destruction, and greater numbers of people who will need our help.

The past couple days have been quite the adventure. We've been lucky enough to be able to set up our lab inside for most of our time in Texas thus far, but the last two sites we've been scheduled at have not had the capacity to host us indoors. Thankfully, Ground Team Ike has come prepared for such occasions! One of the main visions of what this project would look like on the ground, in all its glory, was to form a lab that could basically be set up anywhere to help people, and I say with confidence that this has become a reality. GTI has been able to successfully set up a computer lab in a parking lot, with the use of a generator and tents, to offer help! How amazing is that?!


Check it out!

Tomorrow's another big day, we're setting up and another great site and being hosted by a director with a great sense of humor (Patricia especially loves her jokes, you'll have to ask her about them next time you run into her). Well, we're all going to head off to bed, it feels like we've been gone for a couple months; its hard to believe this project is only about a third over.
G'night.
