CTS Update

Well it’s been 2 weeks since we have returned from the maiden voyage. It was truly an incredible experience. Life changing. We are currently working on the documentary and hope to have it finished in the next month or two. We are setting our goal at 5 RV crews next summer. We will be promoting CTS at college campuses and trying to spread the word through various social outlets. The website will be revamped and followers will be able to talk about their volunteer experiences. We will be creating a volunteer community within the new website. We’ll also have our non-profit status soon. The real journey starts now. We are more motivated than ever to offer the experience we had to college students across the country. Thank you and God Bless.

Thoughts on New Orleans

Being able to return to New Orleans for the second time and play a small part in the rebuidling phase was a great experience. I left New Orleans with the utmost respect and admiration for the full time volunteers working with AmeriCorps and Catholic Charities. It was inspiring working with them all week. They work extremely hard day in and day out without much in return.

One of the reasons we started this organization was to inspire others to take part in service. I left New Orleans feeling more inspired than ever because of the volunteers we met. I cannot say enough about their dedication. You guys are awesome! Keep up the great work.

Leaving New Orleans was a bittersweet feeling. Our mission on this initial trip is to visit 5 cities and participate in a wide variety of service projects. With that being said, we knew it was time to move on to the next stop, but it is hard to leave a place like New Orleans because you see a NEED. There are still people that are unable to return to their homes 4 years after Katrina. It’s tough to fathom something like that when you are not exposed to it on a day to day basis. It would have been great to help out longer, but this will definitely not be The Call to Serve’s last stop to New Orleans. Now onto the next stop….
