UCF's first international service-learning trip under the Knights Without Borders banner is almost upon us. A group of nearly 20 UCF student-athletes, Varsity Knights, staff members and administrators will be leaving for Panama May 5. This group will working at a children's home run by Aldeas Infantiles SOS. This program "builds families for children in need," according to the organization's literature. The Aldeas program houses and cares for children who are at risk because their basic needs are neglected, they may have been abused, lost their parents, have never known them or have been removed from the home because their parents do not have the resources or skills to properly care for them.
