Under the direction of faculty mentor Jim Brown, the group raised $6,400 for construction of a new kitchen at a pediatric hospital in Honduras.
The PBS page includes a video postcard and slideshow about the problem of malnutrition, journal entries from ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students Emily Aker, Jennifer De Simone and Kelly Lawrence, and link to the Project Pericles Web site and links to other Web sites devoted to the relief of malnutrition.
