    Perry Point, MD - Veteran’s Association Medical Center Campus where the 220 Corps Members of the National Civilian Community Corps Atlantic Region are based and trained for the month of February.

    Snowmageddon. Perry Point, MD- These pictures show my room and the village in Perry Point during the worst of the winter snowstorms in Maryland.

    The Sun is Shining - Perry Point, MD - Another look at the village covered in snow, only after the sun had finally come out. Perry Point sits on the top of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, and with the snow it was really quite something.

So I, Sean Kesluk, left Los Angeles for a 6 month adventure abroad in Europe and South America. After a few weeks studying the Deutsch in Freiburg, Germany, it's two months up north in Hamburg working for the city's Jewish community center. After a brief foray into Sweden, I'll head South to Buenos Aires for some Spanish classes and volunteer work in a La Boca soup kitchen. After that it's back home to the States and national service with AmeriCorps NCCC. With a month of training at the VA medical campus in Perry Point, MD, it 's off to Baltimore for my first project, two months working for The Samaritan Women, a non-profit renovating a hundred-year-old mansion to use as a transitional home for women in recovery from heroin addiction and human trafficking, in addition to expanding a farm/urban garden to distribute produce to soup kitchens, shelters, and those in nutritional poverty. The second project will see us down in New Orleans, LA doing post-Katrina work with The Phoenix of New Orleans, a non-profit which renovates homes for Lower Mid-City homeowners who can't afford to do so.
