By Brendan Pawliw

The College of New Caledonia will try and collect 100 flip-flops in the next two weeks to give to kids living in India.

Second-year nursing students will be part of an event tomorrow at 2 PM from the Campus Library in Prince George.

The deadline to collect the flip-flops is April 20th.

From there, those same students will begin a five-week clinical practicum at a hospital in Bangalore.

CNC students will then donate the sandals to the House of Hop, which is a safe place for orphaned children suffering from HIV.
