News: Spring Break in a Disaster Zone - Inside Higher Ed: "Spring Break in a Disaster Zone
March 1, 2010

David Adewumi’s plans for spring break don’t look like those of most other college juniors. He won’t be heading to a resort town for a week of beaches and bars, or home for a week of naps and TV-watching.

They expect to spend a week helping with minor medical care, food distribution and shelter building. “We know we’re a tiny Band-Aid on a huge wound,” he said. “But we’re still doing what we can to help.”"
