PUERTO RICO – Thirty-eight members of the Lajas High School Cadet Squadron worked in Lajas’ collection center for relief of Haitian earthquake victims in coordination with the local Emergency Management Office.

Working in different shifts, over six days the squadron members received donations, inventoried and sorted goods and packed and loaded trucks.

Some devoted up to 52 hours of volunteer service to the effort.

The squadron was responding to a request from Mayor Leovigildo Cotte, who helped out on various days himself and ordered pizza for the members.
