Encouragement From Campus-Cal-Irvine students honored for work in Honduras

Honduras is experiencing an influx of Anteaters, thanks to UC Irvine's Global Brigades program, and needy communities there are grateful.

In the town of Joyas de Carballo, students work with locals to install eco-stoves, latrines, water storage units and concrete floors.

The low-cost projects help prevent respiratory diseases and other illnesses spread by poor hygiene, says Nazreena Abulkalam, a student in public health sciences and international studies (since graduated).
