Penn Valley student ambassadors assist with Haiti relief

It's been more than a year since the devastating earthquake ravaged the island of Haiti. While news coverage has decreased, the hard work of rebuilding the country continues.

MCC-Penn Valley Student Ambassadors answered the call to help the citizens of Haiti by hosting several fundraisers during the school year. The group hosted bake sales, garage sales and other events for the cause and presented a $500 check to Heart To Heart International to assist in the organization's Haiti relief efforts.

Ken Bevers of Heart To Heart accepted the donation and shared ongoing efforts the organization is hosting. He also said the organization would use the campus Student Ambassadors as an example as the group   reached out to colleges across the area in hopes of geting college students involved in world relief efforts.

Way to go Ambassadors!
