Recreation and Leisure Studies students organized Care Break as an alternative to loafing about the house or partying in places like Cancun. Students spent the first half of the semester organizing daily activities that would take place over spring break. They boxed food that would later go to the Ping Yuen housing project in Chinatown, donated blood, provided games and crafts for the elderly and developmentally challenged, talked to 9th graders in Hunter’s Point about college, and removed non-native plants to make the environment more welcoming to local wildlife.
