Students from GPLC’s Whitehall Place site were recently recognized for being good neighbors by the Borough Council of Whitehall. Students have participated in Earth Day clean-up, prepared meals for firefighters and collected supplies for the homeless. As refugees, they appreciate the opportunity they have been given and gratefully give back.
