Reading Week’s Nicaraguan Reno

In March, Queen’s Commerce students descended on Jinotepe, Nicaragua, to spend Reading Week renovating a local elementary school. The students raised funds to cover their trip expenses and donated $400 worth of school supplies as well as 50 teddy bears collected by students at a Waterloo high school. The 25 students were chosen as part of the Queen’s Commerce Initiative Abroad (Q’CIA), an annual international volunteer operation benefitting countries in the developing world.
