TUUL-Belt Ministry helps end three-year journey
The New York Times tells the tale of two tractor-trailers worth of high-quality tile that, over three years and through the combined efforts of several people and groups, made the journey from New York to New Orleans to be installed in homes being rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina. The TUUL-Belt Ministry, a volunteer building-program led by the Rev. Scott Sammler-Michael, minister of the Accotink UU Church in Burke, Va., contributed $3,000 to pay for half of the tiles to be shipped to Louisiana. (New York Times - 11.11.08)
