H-SC Students in Honduras
In January 2008 Hampden-Sydney College returned to Honduras to continue work on the medical clinic outside of Taulabe. For several years HSC has been sending volunteers to work on this sight as well as in the villages in the surrounding mountains. Once again Dr. Aaron Marks ’98 returned with the group and practiced dentistry in several villages and also at the construction site.

Dr. David Klein, Dean of Students
