Wow! What an amazing day and it's only 1:30pm.  We started out our morning at the John Mc Donogh Senior High School for a painting project.  This is no ordinary high school.  The bottom floor is being converted in to a charter school and will host 150 students.  These students are two are more years behind in their education and this program is designed for students from junior high to age 21.  They are offering GED programs, but are encouraging these kids to follow through and get their high school diploma and take classes beyond.  The staff are excited about this vision to offer a better life for the future of New Orleans.  There are 3000 kids eligible for this program that will initially start with this  class of 150.  This charter program is one of three in the nation and we were blessed to help get this school ready for students to start next Monday!!! We will be back tomorrow to finish the project.  We are back at the house now preparing for our next adventure.  More blog this evening.
