Local residents complete weeklong service trip to Haiti

In January during winter break, a group of students and faculty completed a weeklong service trip to Haiti as part of Saint Joseph's College of Maine's International Service Trips, in conjunction with Partners in Development (PID) of Ipswich, Mass. In Haiti, a team of faculty and staff members and 16 students spent the week working on the foundations of two houses in Blanchard and Canaan, just outside Port-au-Prince, regions especially hard hit by the 2010 earthquake, and nursing students assisted doctors and nurses with hundreds of patients in a health clinic.
