MALIK TRAVELS TO
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Nadine Malik, of Shavertown, was one of seven Wilkes University students who participated in an alternative spring break trip to the Dominican Republic.
Alternative spring break offers students an opportunity to perform community service while experiencing a different culture and developing their leadership, teamwork and critical thinking skills. There, they taught English to children from public and private schools and members of the larger community.
They continued their work outside the classroom as they played volleyball, basketball and baseball with the children.
