The Center for Service & Civic Engagement is excited to sponsor a service trip to Nicaragua this Spring Break in collaboration with Friends New England. The trip will allow 8 students to help build a home, work on constructing an eco-stove, and volunteer at a local school.
To make this trip a reality, we have a fundraising goal of $2,350 to cover the cost of building a home with a family in Nicaragua. The students have arranged a few fundraising events in the coming weeks in Burlington.
All you have to do is enjoy some delicious food and you will benefit our cause!
