It is so strange that my time as a Volunteer Leader is just about finished. Looking back, I feel like I heave done and learned so much these past three months. Depending on my mindset at the moment, I go between feeling like I've been in New Orleans for forever, and feeling like I only just arrived. I have met some pretty amazing people, learned a lot of new and crazy things, listened to tons of live music, driven the wrong way down too many one way streets - this list could go on forever - and have become connected to New Orleans and the people here. This connection is why I am planning on staying and working in the city.
I'd like to give special thanks to my fellow Volunteer Leaders for working hard and making a difference here in New Orleans. Also, a big thank you to the entire Hands On staff, especially Nina, our Volunteer Leader Coordinator. You are all awesome. Thank you for "being the change."
In parting, I'd like to quote Bob Dylan, who said, "there are a lot of places I like, but I like New Orleans better." Bob, I couldn't agree more.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions (as long as they don't involve driving directions) or comments at rbcohn@gmail.com
