We've come a long way baby!

We've come so far! We just received some early pics...back about Sept 07 that depicts just exactly how much this place has shaped up! Here's a pic taken 7 months ago and one taken March 31, 2008. Lower 9th Ward Village growing everyday. Check it out... 

Movie Night at Lower 9th Ward Village!

Beginning March 15th, from 5pm-9pm, we will be having Movie Night! We have 2 projectors. We are looking to have 2 movies going at the same time, in different parts of the building, one for the younger children and one for the older teens/adults. LEEP has partnered with us to begin this feature at the Village. We thank them for the donations of the projectors, movies, popcorn...everything to make Movie Night happen in a big way! The Village especially acknowledges Brandon Hollier, son of Angie Hollier (of LEEP) for his contribution of a DVD projector. Brandon did landscaping jobs to raise the funds to purchase the projector and then chose to give it to the Village. Brandon is a teenager himself and we appreciate his gift of giving to the Village.

Landscaping, excavating, a waterfall... going on at the Village!

Troy Winters of Mustard Seed Ministries came to New Orleans on February 2nd. He and friends were here for about 10 days, doing what they do best. The exterior of the Village will never be the same. He brought with him Dean's Excavating and Great Lakes Landscaping and Supply, from Michigan. They brought their equipment, trees, plants, and most of all spirit, bringing hope to the outside of the building and to the Village.

The Village is now renting movie furniture. We have vintage furniture for rent and it has been photographed, numbered and currently stored in a dry place. We can send you a CD with all the furniture on it. Pick and choose at your leisure.
