Students Travel to Kenya

Over their winter break 12 students traveled to Kenya to  experience a different culture, observe medical facilities and practices, and help a needy population.  As the group visited different parts of the country, they shared osteopathic principles with the natives.  Victor Awour, '08 arranged the trip.  Thanks to the generosity of the LECOM community, the students collected over 600 pounds of shoes and clothing, 40 pairs of eyeglasses, and essential vitamins.  They transported these items thousands of miles and then distributed them to more than 300 people of Ngeta Village on Christmas Day.
