New Orleans
PBHA / Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010 / Comments OffDear PBHA Alumni & Friends,
You are likely familiar with the Phillips Brooks House Association’s (PBHA)
service trips for undergraduates. I’m writing to inform you of a similar and
exciting new opportunity for YOU! In conjunction with Harvard University’s focus
on service, PBHA-Alumni have organized two spring service trips with HAA
Travels. All Harvard faculty, staff, and alumni (and their children) are invited
to participate!
These trips represent a highly affordable opportunity to spend a week making
a difference in with others from the Harvard community. No prior experience is
necessary for either trip, simply a willingness to serve.
A blurb on each trip with a link to further information and registration is
copied below. Space is limited, so act now!
NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 14-21
This trip includes painting and
landscaping with the Dillard University Community Redevelopment Corporation.
Volunteers will help the Gentilly neighborhood of East New Orleans rebuild from
the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

THIS COULD BE YOU IN THE SPRING OF 2010!

Participants on the March 14-21 Trip will reside and take meals on the
gorgeous campus of Dillard University – a prominent historically black college
and university (HCBU) that is leading efforts to rebuild the Gentilly
neighborhood of New Orleans.


Harvard undergraduates at work on a previous service trip to New Orleans –
efforts to landscape and paint are critical to reviving the Gentilly
neighborhood.
