Review for NECHAMA - Jewish Response to Disaster, Saint Paul, MN, USA
I have know about Nechama for some time, but was particularly drawn to their rebuilding efforts in Long Island, NY as I felt it would be a great opportunity to use my building skills to work to help others. The team was well organized, planning everything the night before, having the supplies and equipment ready, and mixing abilities to make sure things were done well. I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with other volunteers across age and skill levels. We had a team of high school students on their vacation working with us, and I know they learned a lot. The field leaders for Nechama were great at mixing practicality and humor to make it a worth while experience. I am already trying to find another opportunity in my schedule to join them again.

Given I generally prefer to volunteer over a weekend to minimize time off of work. I would love it if they had project work going on Saturdays as well. Would be more convenient for me.
