Instead of partying at some beachside resort town or going hiking in the mountains, some students and faculty members from Barry University plan to spend this year's Spring Break helping Miami's Haitian community.

From March first through the fifth, nearly 50 students, faculty and staff members plan to take part in the school's Alternative Spring Break 2010 service project.

Over the course of the week, participants will volunteer at the pre-school at Miami's Haitian Youth & Community Center of Florida. Not only will the Barry students and teachers help out with the kids in the daycare program, they'll also help the center's staff sort and pack donations going to Haiti.

But that won't be their only project.

On Wednesday, March 3rd, they plan to join other volunteers in painting the interior and exterior of the Notre Dame D'Haiti Catholic Church in Little Haiti.
