Puerto Rico Disaster Relief
Trips run in the fall over a weekend or during winter break, as needs arise.听
萝莉社 the Trip
All Hands and Hearts has done extensive work to learn from locals what the greatest needs of local Puerto Ricans are. They have learned that this manifests as assistance in roof repair and door and window replacement. In addition, they are asking for help in home sanitation. 萝莉社 students will be working on these types of projects alongside our partner community. The trip will also include intensive Spanish-language exposure as well as cultural learning and immersion.
