Eighteen Western Washington University students studying abroad for a semester in the Dominican Republic worked last week to pack more than 5,000 emergency care packets headed to neighboring Haiti. Each packet is designed to feed a family for a week. Western's Larry Estrada, a professor at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies who is in charge of the program in the Dominican Republic, said in a university press release that the students worked with the emergency-relief arm of the German government, GTZ, to help assemble the packets.
