The first day was spent picking up debris (YES! There is still debris in some places!) TIS split into two groups and helped clean out 4-5 empty lots that afternoon!

Wednesday was the busiest day of the week. In the morning, a handful of our volunteers left early to continue cleaning the Community Center/Preschool that is now the future home of an RV park. It will be utilized by the construction workers that build in Greensburg in order to cut back commuting time and allow a place to sleep free of charge. Another group headed to help a family who's tree nursery was damaged during the storm (they had planted over 600 trees!). In the afternoon the group was split into a trio. One group went back to help clean up the rest of the trees, a second helped with a roofing project and the last went to the outskirts of Greensburg to help a family clean up their farm.

"This was my second TIS trip and it was even better than the first! It was so great to hang out with the friends I made on the first trip and become closer to them, and I got the chance to meet even more amazing people. The limits that we pushed ourselves to was an awesome sight to behold, each member of our group worked their hardest to help Greensburg! I wouldn't have wanted to spend my spring break any other way!!"

"It absolutely astounds me how much people can do with the right state of mind. This was my first T.I.S. trip and I was blown away by everyone there putting others before them. It was an amazing time with even more amazing people to work beside and build relationships that will last. I will remember it for a long time to come and can't wait to go back!"
