The first week of Hamilton’s spring break is over and the first five Alternative Spring Break trips have returned. A new trip this year went to Philadelphia, where students worked with the Urban Tree Connection, helping to develop community-driven greening and gardening projects on vacant land, and with the Nationalities Service Center, where they worked with an English as a Second Language (ESL) class.
Three groups volunteered building Habitat for Humanity houses in Pittsboro, N.C. , Madison and Clark Kentucky, and Marion, S.C. Another group traveled to New Jersey to continue Hurricane Sandy Relief work.
