Seniors trip to IA

On Friday, September 12th, the CLS Seniors along with Dr. Allan Steele's Marketting class made a trip to International Aid near Grand Haven, MI. This is the organization that provides the Lab-in-a-Suitcase. A project the CLS Faculty have been working on.

The bus arrived about 11:30 so the first task was to distribute the box lunches and have lunch before touring the facility.

The students with lunch boxes in hand.

IA provided their lunchroom for the students to eat in along with many different snacks the students could choose from.

Bananas can serve many functions. Nourishment or

Pointing device!!

After eating the group toured the facility. Here they saw the different types of equipment that IA makes available to under developed countries to help upgrade their medical facilities.

The Lab-in-a-Suitcase

IA is interested in having the diverse CLS student body assit them in collecting information about how the Lab-in-a-Suitcase is being utilized in the home countries represented by our CLS students.

IA trying to find out how many countries were represented by our class. This gentleman could converse in many different languages. He said he could say hello and goodbye in about 50 languages.
