APR 2: COLLEGE STUDENTS IN MICHIGAN RAISE MONEY AND VOLUNTEER TO HELP BUILD ORPHANAGE
Students at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan staged a volleyball tournament to raise money for a program that is building an orphanage in Haiti while training Haitians on how to build earthquake resistant housing. REACH (Reconstruction Efforts Aiding Children without Homes) was founded by Lawrence Tech alumnus Don Stevens in an effort to build homes for children affected by natural disasters, war and poverty. Three Lawrence Tech students and two alumni spent spring break in Haiti helping build two new homes at an orphanage in Les Cayes.
