Honduras!

This June, Pioneer Football players Clayton Desjardin '15 and Seth Howard '15, along with Official Pioneer Photographer Alysia Horcher '15 spent a couple weeks in Honduras.  Here's a recap of their experience along with some photos!

We went as a student-led group representing Grinnell College through an organization called Global Brigades. Quick break down of what we did: brought 25 suitcases full of medicines with us, counted the pills and put them into individual bags for patients with enough for a 1 month supply, went to 3 communities and created clinics in the schools (we had a dentist, 2 general doctors, 1 gynecologist, we also set up a pharmacy), saw and treated around 500 people as well as create electronic medial records for everyone. On our last day, we partnered up with San Diego State University and went to a 4th community and dug trenches, which will eventually become a completed plumbing system, bringing water to every home from a well 3 miles from the town.

Athletic Facilities Progress

Less than one year from now, Grinnell College will open two new athletic facilities to go along with the new gymnasium and fitness center that were finished in 2005.

A $75 million expense, the new athletic facilities will be state of the art in both design and function. A couple weeks ago you saw some of the concept photos. Today, enjoy photos showing the most recent progress on the buildings.

You can continue check up on the progress using our live camera feeds here.

The College is still working towards the fund raising goal for these projects and would appreciate your support. To donate please visit the College Development Office here.
