New Orleans 2012

I had a wonderful time in New Orleans during the summer of 2012. I met so many amazing people (some I still talk to) and made many great connections. The supervisiors were helpful and made the most of everyday that was spent in New Orleans. I earned 72 hours over the course of the two week program, and I would have loved to go back on another trip my schedule has not allowed me to do so. I did this program to jump start my volunteer hours mostly but then once I arrived in New Orleans, I forgot about my college applications and just enjoyed my time there. Though a costly program, it was affordable because it includes housing, food, gas money, etc. I would not trade this experience for anything; I urge everyone to go on a Rustic Pathways trip! At some points of the trip, we would go to a jazz festival or to the French Quarter to do some shopping, which was really nice because you were able to see what the city has to offer! Absolutely amazing, strongly suggest that everyone does a volunteer programs like this during his or her life.
