The Pigeon House by Molly
Over the years during our visits to New Orleans many of the Wonder Voyage staff have lamented the sad condition of what we lovingly call “the Pigeon House.” This is a beautiful, historic structure just down the street from the large pink house where we stay. Abandonded for years, the Pigeon House got it’s name from the pigeons that took up residence in it over the years. Inside and out,the house was swarming with pigeons.
Today our Believers Fellowship team was able to participate in the rebirth and revitalization of this beautiful building. A local couple has purchased the structure and is going to use it to house a neighborhood youth mentoring and community center. Equipped with hammers, crowbars, and enormous amounts of energy, our team knocked out walls, pulled nails and hauled debris. It was hot, it was dusty, it was fantastic! How cool it was to participate in the process of resurrecting a building that will build into the lives of young people in this community. We can’t wait to return tomorrow to finish what we started.
