The Yale Alumni Service Corps has two service trips this year. One was to Nicaragua this past March. It was a tremendous trip -- with 60 Yale alums partnering with 24 Yale Nursing School students and professors to work in an impoverished community in Nicaragua. You can see an inspirational video about the trip by clicking here.
This summer, YASC will be heading to Ghana -- with Kathy Edersheim and Darcy Troy Pollock playing key roles in making the trip happen. Can't wait to hear about all they accomplish.
Next year, look for YASC to expand, with 2012 trips to Nicaragua and Ghana and, we hope, some domestic service trip opportunities. This year's trips have sold out quickly, so I will make sure that the Class if 87 knows when to sign up.
As you know from last year's blogs about the YASC trip to the Dominican Republic, these trips change lives -- the lives of those who go and the lives of those we serve. Please think about participating.
