Kaitlyn Dreman of Aurora to serve over Spring Break

2014 Mar 10

Kaitlyn Dreman of Aurora, CO, will be serving with a team from Huntington University during Spring Break.

Dreman, a senior Exercise & Movement Science major, will be travelling on the Belize trip.

While Huntington University students serve this Spring Break in Jamaica and Belize, another group of students is stepping out on faith for a "mystery trip."

The "mystery trip" is named because the location is unknown to the students going on the trip. The idea for the trip is to provide disaster relief to any area that may need it at the time of the trip as well as keeping the focus on service instead of travel. The trip is led by Grace Kaufman, director of volunteer service and outreach ministry, and Friesen Center Volunteer Coordinator Lauren Kirby.

"It is a trip that is about service and spiritual retreat," said Clarissa Hunter, a student going on the trip. "It is also something new, something different."

The Belize trip team is headed to the Hosanna House in Valley Community to renovate the homes of families in need as well as paint a preschool and play sports with the children. The team is being led by campus pastor, Arthur Wilson, and student trip leader, Kaitlyn Dreman.

The Jamaica trip team is being led by the Friesen Center's namesake, Dr. Norris Friesen, and student trip leader Katie Eckhoff. The team is setting out as the first group to serve in Jamaica since 2008.
