The Clemson University Thomas Greene Clemson Brussels Center (CUBC) is pleased to be able to offer Clemson students the opportunity to participate in an exciting and rewarding service learning project in India during the summer of 2008: The ICHEC Housing Project
The ICHEC Housing Project is organized through ICHEC: Institut Catholique des Hautes Etudes Commerciales, one of Clemson University’s partners at the Brussels Center. The ICHEC India Housing project is an international service learning project that involves studying Indian culture, participating in an international team of students, fund raising, working with Indian villagers to build houses and traveling to Brussels and around India. During this program you will live in an Indian village for three weeks and participate in a local development project—building houses for local families.
