Muchas Manos, a student nonprofit organization, is col- lecting fabric, buttons, chenille stems, detergent bottle cops, plastic pill bottles, thread, leftover yarn and embroidery floss for students enrolled in a Capstone course to take to Nicaragua this summer. Primary school children in Nicaragua will use the donat- ed items to create handcrafts.
The students partaking in the capstone focus on service in Nicaragua, including doing construction projects and working with primary school children.
Donations can be dropped off in Curris Business Building room 5 until finals week. Email business professor Chris Schrage at schragec@uni.edu or call her at 319-346-1365 with any questions. Schrage is the adviser of Muchas Manos and the leader of the capstone.
Muchas Manos was started in 2007 by a group of Nicaragua capstone stu- dents. The organization funds and awards scholarships to Nicaraguan high school stu- dents.
