Vacations focus on volunteering

The Pitt Volunteer Pool, in conjunction with the Student Volunteer Outreach program, is sponsoring two service projects this summer off the beaten track. Volunteers are invited to Santerem, Brazil, for two weeks of building a community health clinic, and Gardiner, Montana, for a week of renovating a dude ranch.

An information session on the two excursions will be held Feb. 29 at noon in Dining Room A, William Pitt Union.

Santerem, Brazil, is the site where volunteers will help improve health conditions in the lower Amazon River basin June 28-July 14. The cost is $2,300 per person.

In Montana's Gallatin National Forest, which is designated as a grizzly bear habitat and elk migration corridor, volunteers will spruce up the OTO dude ranch and the surrounding area July 22-29. The cost is $810.

Discounts are available for families. Recreation activities are planned at both sites.

For more information, call the Volunteer Pool office, 624-7709.
