Ebenson Verdule, ’14, will move to Haiti this fall with a clear mission — to provide hope to thousands of orphaned children living on the streets of Port-de-Paix.

The St. Johns River Transformational Learning Opportunity (TLO) at UNF is a focused learning experience for students, which includes a weekly one-credit lab and culminates in an eight-day spring break trip along the river’s middle basin.
