Nine UC students have just returned from volunteering in a rural part of the Philippines, which was devastated by Typhoon Haiyan in 2013.

The garden will produce healthy food for the community and any excess can be sold for profit.
And here’s all the details on the 21 Day Challenge, which was what brought these students together and sent them on the experience of a lifetime.
