A group of Purdue students and staff spent spring break in Costa Rica, building 50 sets of desks and chairs for school children. The furniture utilizes technology developed at Purdue to create inexpensive furniture able to withstand Costa Rica's relentless heat and humidity. The travelers were assistant forestry professor Rado Gazo; graduate student Henry Quesada (a native of Costa Rica); volunteer woodworker Bob Leavitt, Eva Hariarova, manager of Purdue's wood research laboratory; and juniors Ike Slaven and Ryan Bradford. Below are some pictures they brought back from the trip.
