Despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus, University of Miami Alternative Breaks (UMAB) hosted its first in-person day of service of the year.
“It was really frustrating because usually we do these really huge fall and spring break trips that we unfortunately had to cancel,” said Bao Duong, the co-chair of UMAB. “But the idea that we were able to have a day of service and really get people to bond and associate with the cause and with the local community meant a lot to me.”
