Spring Break Service in Seven States, Jamaica and Puerto Rico

By Courtney Gilmartin

Physical therapy Instructor Jennifer Tucker will lead nine physical therapy students and two others on a trip to Kingston, Jamaica, during next week's spring break.

UCF students have traveled to Jamaica to help orphans for the past six years, and they are part of an ongoing partnership with the Florida Hospital Outreach program SHARES International.

Tucker's team will provide aid at two homes for special needs children, where they will hold educational sessions for the caregivers and interact with the children.
