NOTE:
If anyone needs to telephone a
student in the event of an emergency, that person should call the
Director of Public Safety at Drew University, Tom Evans, at (973)
408-4444 to get numbers and any additional information. The
people
who work at the children's homes ask us to ask people not to telephone
for non-emergency reasons--the students may not always be easy to
locate and the staff are very busy trying to take care of so many
children!!!
Students may be able to call home
when we return to Tegucigalpa (but please remember that
telephone calls are expensive, public telephones can be unreliable, and
students are on a limited budget!).
PLEASE ASSUME THAT NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.
IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS, CHIEF
EVANS HAS CONTACT NUMBERS AND WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY MEMBERS.
