No break in this spring break: Seton Hill students spend week fixing homes of poor in Kentucky
No break in this spring breakBraddock Hills resident and Seton Hill senior Tiffany Brattaina helped replace some windows and part of a roof and put up a water barrier around a former tobacco farmer's house.
The English literature and education major said the days were long but productive. They were up at 6:30 a.m., had devotions at 7:15, ate a quick breakfast and were off to their work sites between 7:30 and 8 a.m. They were housed at the Baptist Institute's Camp Andrew Jackson.
Each student paid $125 to cover the costs of room and board.
Ms. Brattaina learned that some of the residents of these rural Appalachian Mountain communities rarely stray from their homes.

Aw...so sad about the misspelling. Poor Tiff.
Is it just me, or did they spell Tiffany's last name wrong? Thought it was Brattina.
Maybe I'm just delirious from the insomnia.
