Four Penn State Schuylkill students will be heading to Portugal to build a better future for others.
According to the Republican Herald, Ian McGowan, Raquele Amato, Marla Stoner and Alyssa Hatter, along with five other Penn State students from two other branches, depart Saturday for Portugal to work on a Habitat for Humanity construction project for a family of three.
The house they are living in does not have a complete roof, electricity and indoor bathroom.
The trip was made possible by a $15,000 grant from the Student Engagement Network Office at the Hetzel Union Building in University Park.
Bryan Valentine, director of student affairs, will oversee the nine students in Portugal.
