USAC Students Help
Build Temporary Housing in Costa Rica
By John Trent
In the wake of a magnitude 6.1 earthquake
that jolted Costa Rica on Jan. 8, students
from the University of Nevada, Reno are
making a difference by building temporary
housing.
The students are studying in Heredia, Costa
Rica as part of the University Studies
Abroad Consortium (USAC).
They recently had the opportunity to build
the temporary housing for residents in the
towns of Vara Blanca and Sinchona de
Sarapiqui, which were hit especially hard by
the earthquake.
