Hundreds of balloons released in support of earthquake victims in Haiti.
to the Division of Students Affairs for rallying student support for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Students have gathered money, food, water, clothing, medical supplies and other items to help quake victims and are continuing to do so. A new student relief aid organization, called Rams H.O.P.E., recently held a Hope Floats Balloon Release, which gave students and other participants an opportunity to write down a prayer, wish, aspiration, or whatever they felt on a card that was attached to a balloon. It was also an opportunity to donate any items.
WSSU’s student efforts to aid Haiti were recognized in the February 4 issue of Journal of Blacks in Higher Education.
