COLLEGEDALE, Tenn. -- On February 25, Southern Adventist University will be sending students to the Dominican Republic, for spring break, to rebuild a church destroyed by hurricane Georges last September.

The group of 41 students, 28 from Southern Adventist University and 13 from Georgia- Cumberland Academy in Calhoun, Ga., will be staying 12 days in La Romana, which is 110 kilometers. from the Dominican Republic's capital city, Santo Domingo.

Besides giving their time and energy to the church rebuilding project, students raised $575 each to cover costs of their adventure.

In another spring break project, 19 student nurses from Southern Adventist University will be holding medical clinics. Divided in two groups between Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, they will work along with teachers from Southern and other volunteers from the medical profession.
