Join our annual service learning trip to Jamaica. We partner with International Samaritan, an organization that serves victims of severe poverty in developing countries to help them alleviate hunger, homelessness, endemic disease, and ignorance. In past years, we have worked to build a school library, assisted teaching children in a local school, and helped improve rural housing. More recently we have helped residents identify novel revenue streams through the creation and online sale of "found art" jewerly - so that they can avoid scavenging for a living in the local landfill. Students will also have opportunities to visit popular tourists sites during their stay. For more information, please visit http://intsam.org/ or contact Dr. Ashley Pryor. Dr. Pryor will work with you to create an individualized curricular enhancement to the trip. Students must have a passport before applying for the trip.
