Puerto Rico Disaster Relief

Trips run in the fall over a weekend or during winter break, as needs arise. 

关于这次旅行

All Hands and Hearts has done extensive work to learn from locals what the greatest needs of local Puerto Ricans are. They have learned that this manifests as assistance in roof repair and door and window replacement. In addition, they are asking for help in home sanitation. NPU students will be working on these types of projects alongside our partner community. The trip will also include intensive Spanish-language exposure as well as cultural learning and immersion.
