Tanya Jure Volunteers in New Orleans for Alternative Spring Break

2014 Apr 11

Tanya Jure, Nichols College class of 2014, took part in the Alternative Spring Break trip to New Orleans this past March. The students volunteered with Gulf Coast Volunteers for the Long Haul and the St. Bernard's Project. Each morning, the group worked on a home in the Seventh Ward--mudding, sanding and priming. In the afternoons, they completed projects that ranged from painting, gardening and working in the Habitat ReStore Center.

This trip was made possible through fundraising efforts of the student attendees. Through letter campaigns, raffles, charity dinners and more, the group was able to raise over $4,000.
