"Representatives from Serving at the Crossroads (SATC) (Bob Sumner, Peter Thompson, and Sylvia Bastani) met with the West Chester University (WCU) chapter of the National Student Speech-Language-Hearing Association (NSSLHA) to receive donations collected by NSSLHA. Items included medical and academic supplies. Beginning in the fall of 2017, SATC has enlisted that help of West Chester University to support international projects with SATC partner, Manos Amigas in La Entrada, Honduras. SATC is a United States-based non-profit that supports the Manos Amigas clinic in La Entrada, Honduras.
Dr. Patricia Swasey Washington, NSSLHA Advisor, who participated in the first WCU-led medical brigade to Manos Amigas in October of 2017, was able to witness first-hand the dire needs of the Honduran people and how Manos Amigas benefits the community of La Entrada. She has initiated an ongoing project, organized by NSSLHA, to raise funds and collect supplies for SATC/Manos Amigas.
