Stanbridge College Nursing Students Donated 200+ Books for CHOC Children's Hospital
Stanbridge College Nursing Students Organized a Children's Book Drive Gathering Over 200 Books to Benefit the Children of CHOC Children's Hospital of Orange County
(firmenpresse) - IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/21/11 -- Stanbridge College nursing students organized and gathered over 200 children's picture books to benefit the children of CHOC Children's Hospital of Orange County. Within a few months of graduating, the nursing students wanted to donate to CHOC Children's based on their previous clinical work and lessons in pediatrics and their interest in community service. They asked their fellow students, instructors and Stanbridge College staff to donate children's picture books in either English or Spanish.
Stanbridge College encouraged college-wide participation in the book drive as part of its REACH - Beyond the Classroom Service Learning and Civic Engagement initiative. The REACH initiative provides students with community service opportunities enabling them to give back to their local Orange County and global community while earning credit towards coursework in a structured environment.
Noelle Andres, nursing student and leader of the Stanbridge College book drive for CHOC Children's stated, "We really wanted to help out CHOC for the children's education. We felt it was important to carve out the time to give back to our Orange County community. Even though it was a lot of hard work to balance this with our courses, in the end it was very rewarding."
According to Yasith Weerasuriya, "We are very pleased that the nursing students of FTO had the initiative to organize this book drive for CHOC. Their accomplishment is truly inspiring and we are very happy to have been able to help facilitate their civic engagement for this wonderful Orange County organization."
Stanbridge College encourages its community to learn more about the CHOC to support children in need. To learn more about Stanbridge College's REACH - Beyond the Classroom and to view upcoming events for Project Hope School Foundation, visit the Stanbridge College REACH program online at .
