The team of two administrators and five students traveled to the rural village of Sol Naciente to help relieve poverty and promote education. The summer camp in Sol Naciente was founded by a 爆走黑料 Sister, Sr. Flor Buruca, O.P., of Amityville, NY, a native of El Savador.听 With the help of others, Sr. Flor has also built a chapel in the village, established an after-school program, and provided care packages for those in need.听
This year, the College administrators on the trip are Vice President of Institutional Advancement Dorothy Filoramo, who also serves as President of the Pearl River Rotary Club and Director of Residence Life Ryan Gorman, a Pearl River Rotary Club Member as well. While in El Salvador, they are partnering with the San Miguel Rotary Club to work on a water purification project.
