Certainly not everyone will leave with a full stomach, but everyone will leave with a better understanding of the sharing of food resources in the world. You can participate in either or both. The Community Involvement Center is sponsoring an Alternative Spring Break Trip to Reynosa, Mexico. Participants will be working primarily on construction projects but there will also be opportunities to work with a children's nutrition program and to assist with preventative healthcare services. There will be substantial opportunity for interaction with the community and some Spanish knowledge would be helpful but is not required.
Scholarships are available.
The trip is limited to 12 participants. Applications are available in the Community Involvement Center - stop by to pick one up. Responsibilities would include publicity, recruiting volunteers, organizing a TG and finding sites. For additional information, please contact Sharyn Malatok at 739-7752. Elementary, Middle School and High School Technology students from the Houston area will be participating in and presenting workshops and competitions throughout the day.
