Thanks to the Ocean City Bomb Squad's "Rachel Project" beeping Easter egg donation, visually impaired students in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester County Schools will participate in this weekend's Easter egg hunts with more independence! The Rachel Project began after an Alabama bomb technician found a way for his daughter, Rachel, to participate in their church's Easter egg hunts. The project is a partnership between the National Association for Parents of Children with Visual Impairments (NAPVI) and the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators (lABTI).
