I might not be able to get my camera to focus in right, but I think our AmeriCorps members did properly focus our attention over the past several days on learning new things at the many seminars and discussions at the national conference and helping out at the group service project at Highland Park.
Here are some photos from the event. The top photo is of Laura Klein who does editing and layout work for our New Orleans Literacy AmeriCorps magazine called AmeriWord, see more on AmeriWord at www.literacygno.org . (Laura also corrects all the spelling and grammar mistakes I make therein, folks, thank you...)
The group at the table are representative of the various discussions and seminars we had; this one is discussing ABE/GED education -- Adult Basic Education and high school diploma preparation. Kimberly Peterson from Pittsburgh is in the next photo. We had an interesting discussion about social justice and literacy; and we plan to stay in contact via email and blog.
In the next photo is the cutest baby in town ... Gibson Fischer from New Orleans (more about Mr. Gibson to come in this blog, scroll down).
In the next photo are Caroline and Miriam (left), both members of Literacy AmeriCorps New Orleans.
