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.
