The
USS Cowpens also brought $50,000 worth of disaster relief supplies for
the earthquake victims in India and delivered four pallets of various
hygienic and medical supplies from the U.S. Navy’s Project Handclasp
charitable organization. Fifty-four U.S. Navy personnel put more than
800 man-hours into the project to help St. Catherine’s Home, which
is both a school and orphanage. Among the donated items they brought
were books and two sewing machines. The volunteers also delivered various
supplies and rehabilitated rooms at the home.
