Nurses
promote health in Peru
Ann Barrow
Eleven
senior nursing students spent their Spring Break in a unique way this
year. On February 28, they departed for the Augustinian Mission in Chulucanas,
Peru, representing a clinical option for their Health Promotion course.
Accompanying them were College of Nursing faculty, Assistant Professors
Elizabeth Keech, Karen McKenna, and Debbie Wimmer. The trip was arranged
with the assistance of Campus Ministry and Rev. Richard Appicci, O.S.A.,
Director of the Augustinian Missions. Six campus ministry students also
went to Chulucanas for a service project where they rebuilt the walls
of a home of an elderly villager.
