As residents in the Hurricane Katrinadevastated
Gulf Coast region move
from the cleanup stage to extensive
re-bu i ld ing , 15 specia l ly tra ined
Wittenberg students assisted in the effort
during spring break.
All of the students, several of whom
had previous experience with dry wall,
electrical set up and general construction,
received additional carpentry training by
members of the Clark County Chapter
of Habitat for Humanity in preparation
for the second service trip to the area in
two years. Together, they constructed a
shed as a practice exercise. The shed was
then donated to Habitat for Humanity
to benefit a local family in need.
