notes: Date: Mon, 19th, 2007 Subject: Biloxi Diocese Recovery Office Reopens After a month of reorganization, the Diocesan Office of Long Term Recovery has reopened with Kelly Deschamps as the new director. The Biloxi Diocese opened the recovery office after Hurricane Katrina, concentrating on South Mississippi's immediate post-Katrina needs. With reorganization, the work will center on houses. "We have 20 homes ready to start construction," Deschamps said, "and we'll be unveiling the first rebuilt home within weeks. We have volunteers coming from all over the nation." Deschamps, 26 and with a background in marketing-public relations, moved to the Coast more than a month ago with her husband, Sea Wolves defenseman Matt Deschamps. "I have disaster experience from 9/11 and it's a different kind of disaster but tragedy has the same effects," she said. "I have a lot of respect and compassion for the Gulf Coast community for what the people have been through and their resilience. DOLTR is about creating hope and homes in the community." http://www.sunherald.com/201/story/191043.html ======================================================== If you would like to volunteer in the Biloxi region, please contact our Biloxi diocese: Deanne Misko, volunteer coordinator: (office) 228-897-2280 or (cell) 228-234-3901 Wayne Hardy, crew leader: (office) 228-222-1626 or (cell) 228-234-9903 Diocese is now able to accept both short-term and long-term volunteers. They would still appreciate having folks who can come for longer periods of time such as one/two weeks. Though not limited to manual labor, manual labor will often be the primary work of volunteers. Volunteers: Must have own transportation (For those who stay overnight, the only housing available is 25 miles from work site) Must have tetanus shot Must be able to do manual labor Must notify Diocese before coming so can be put on Team and can be assured of housing.

Large groups will need to make donation) Men and Women have separate accommodations Volunteers must provide own lunch Washer/dryer available Tools/masks/gloves are provided; however, it is helpful if worker(s) can bring own tools. Since masks and gloves are often in short supply on the coast, it would also be helpful if volunteers could supply these as well.
