By Scott Nadler
We loaded up the van with our luggage,
And our leaders discussed the day's plan.
Traveling south from Ashdod to Sderot,
The housing mission began.
We hit the road bright and early,
It was a 30-minute ride --
Zest and excitement filled the air,
Our hearts filled with pride.
There were eight of us volunteering
From different states, all with bravado.
From New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania,
To Arkansas and Colorado.
