Over spring break Chaplain Derek Wadlington led an Alternative Spring Break service trip to New Bern, NC. The trip partnered with Lend A Hand, the Camp Hill based volunteer agency from Carlisle Presbytery. Teaming with Chaplain Derek was Crystal Lantz, Director of International Scholar Services, and six others: Claudia Tabbas, Fulbright Scholar and Spanish TA; James Pasaribu ������Ƶ ’22; Carly Ashway ������Ƶ ’24; Heather Judge ������Ƶ ’26; Tiyas Chakraborty ������Ƶ ’27; and Marta Davidova ������Ƶ ’27.

The group, along with eleven volunteers from Lend A Hand, worked on about half a dozen homes doing projects ranging that included roof repair, drywall and insulation replacement, subfloor and floor replacement, plumbing, drywall mudding, priming, and painting. Plus a number of other random tasks. The group volunteered with the Craven County Disaster Recover Alliance, a non-profit that spans three counties in the New Bern area providing repairs to homes of those in need. It was a very successful trip ������Ƶ – as a group, the Wilson/Lend A Hand team logged over 860 volunteer hours.
