Students have a new destination when it comes to Spring Brea

This story brought tears to my eyes. Students coming to the Gulf Coast on their Spring Break to help rebuild the Gulf Coast. They are going to Louisana and Mississippi to help rebuild and fix schools, houses, etc.

My coworker sat next to some high school kids on the same mission during our flight home from D.C. on Friday. He said the kids were anxious but excited to help.

They are also coming to South Padre.... Its seems Cancun and FL are not the place of choice given the hurricanes last year....

I think it is just amazing that high school and college kids are thinking of other people and giving up their vacations to help others. Some many times the younger generation gets a negative view on the media and I was please to see that someone was actually reporting something positive instead of the negative.

What is sad is the story coming out of the areas today is that once again someone has dropped the ball and the promised housing for these volunteers is non-existant. I heard it on the news this morning. I have no lind for verification. They said a FEMA worker was scrambling trying to straighten it out. A worker? Why not 3 or 4 workers. Apparently there are hundreds of students coming in.
