Postcards for South African Caregivers

Academic II, Room 2207

Help the RCC Student Nurses Association (SNA) create personal postcards to express support for caregivers in South Africa. United Hospice of Rockland (UHR) and Choice Trust have formed a partnership through FHSSA (Foundation of Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa). The goal of the partnership is to help Choice Trust develop their palliative care program while learning new things about working cross-culturally. RCC’s student nurses want to express their support of the caregivers by recognizing the hard work they do by completing the postcards assigned to them by United Hospice of Rockland. There will be food, prizes and fun!

Rockland Community College, a unit of the State University of New York, is located 25 miles northwest of NYC. The majority of its students transfer to four-year colleges, and many find immediate employment upon earning their associate's degree or certificate. The College also offers others, from preschoolers to senior citizens, the opportunity to simply learn something new. Quality education...at a price you can afford.
