Nursing Students Receive Steward Award

Photo: (4/22/11) Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) Nursing Professor, Debbie Brady (Gilford-center), is shown with LRCC Nursing students, Alyssa Ryan (Plymouth-left), and Phyllis Shoemaker (Laconia-right), at the New Hampshire Campus Compact Presidents' Award luncheon held recently. Brady, Ryan, and Shoemaker received the Steward Award for their service to the citizens of the Carrefour area of Haiti, by helping to build affordable housing for victims of the 2010 earthquake through the Global Builders Team. Global Builders is a program of the Fuller Center for Housing in Americus, Georgia, "an ecumenical Christian non-profit started in 2005 by Habitat for Humanity founders Millard Fuller and Linda Fuller as a way to continue their vision of a grassroots movement working to eliminate poverty housing worldwide." The Nursing trio will present a slide presentation of their trip at LRCC on Tuesday, May 3, Room T255.

Plans are now being made for Brady, Ryan, and Shoemaker to return to Haiti in August and continue the building projects.
