Hamline University Hurricane Relief
Shalom,
At the outset, I'd like to thank the student leaders: Shanelle Evans, Toni Hauser, Kelsey Schuder, Megan Tighe, and Carli Wulff.
Thanks and much appreciation goes to the major funders of this effort: Garvin Davenport, Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs; Hamline University Student Congress; Linda Gesling, Director of Church Relations; Hamline Department of Education; Hamline Religious and Spiritual Life Office; Office of Service-Learning and Volunteerism; the TEVP program.
Please surf the links on this blog to get a sense of the context of this relief effort.
Personally, I want to relay the concern I heard from our hosts in New Orleans: please listen to the stories; please listen, open your heart and your mind to the challenges of bringing forth justice.

Hello Hamlinites! I am so excited to see you have a blog for your trip - what a great idea! I have been thinking tons about all of the spring break trips, even though I`m in Ecuador, my heart is still in the OSLV and the CSI trips. I wish you all the very best of luck and I can`t wait to hear more about your experiences. Good luck!
