Students spend Spring Break helping others
Seventeen students are headed to Louisiana on March 10 for a weeklong service trip during the University’s spring break week. In this blog, students share their thoughts and experiences during the trip. Students will assist residents who are rebuilding by supporting the Community Center of St. Bernard in Arabi, LA. They’ll be found sorting donations for distribution, building a laundry room, helping with data-entry, and cooking and serving meals to the local community. At Common Ground Relief, a grassroots project in the lower 9th Ward, activities will include repairing and rebuilding damaged homes.
Hi, I am Jessica Vogel’s mother. She is a senior at Wake this year. She will be staying on campus this spring break to work on her senior art honors show. We live in New Orleans and cannot begin to express how much we need and appreciate all your efforts. You will see for your self when you get here how much some people still need.
My husband and I would love to do something for ya’ll while you are here to thank you and help make your trip easier. What days will you be here? Can we make dinner for you or bring you lunch. We have space in case you need lodging. We would love to help. E-mail us so we can e-mail our phone number to you. Thanks again. Kathy and John Vogel
