Volunteerism is an important part of Priscilla's life. As a resident of
the area, she has served on the Fairfield Planning Board, been a member
of the Salvation Army Advisory Board, and served as co-chair of that
Board. Additionally, she has taken special Red Cross courses and is
certified to teach in both English and Spanish the First Aid, CPR,
HIV/AIDS courses offered by Red Cross. She has offered these programs
to Spanish speaking migrant workers in the summer. Most recently, she
became certified in Red Cross Disaster Relief Services and was sent to
Louisiana last June to help families who had suffered flooding from
Tropical Storm Allison. |
International volunteerism is also a part of Priscilla's work in helping
others. In January of 1999 and 2000, she served as head interpreter with
the University of Southern Maine's School of Nursing Rural health
clinics in the Dominican Republic. Last year two Colby students,
Jennifer Worden and Luis Perez, participated with Priscilla as
interpreters in the program. This year, not being able to go to the
Dominican Republic herself, Priscilla urged two Colby students to go on
the program as interpreters.
