8 tiring hours later, we finally made it to sunny Abingdon, VA. We then met with our energetic coordinator, Jeremy Blackwell, and learned a few things about our projects for the week. Additionally, we explored our beautiful volunteer house, met our friendly and welcoming housemates, and even got into a spirited game of cards.
Overall, I can safely say that we're all thrilled for the adventure ahead! Although we were all thoroughly warned about how sore we would be by the end of the week, the thought of demolition and construction is far more exciting than the challenge. More importantly, by the end of the day it was clear within our whole group that the change we're making here in Abingdon is extremely important to us. The work we have ahead of us is worth it because of the good that will come of it.
Wish us luck, and be sure to stay updated as we continue our adventure throughout the week!
