WORKING IN KENTUCKY A group of five Avilo students ond two staff members spent port of their Christmas vo- cation working with the Servite Sisters in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. The group consisted of Geri Sudfelgre, Pat- ty Kampeter, Jock Pork, Shannon Ennis, Patrick Wood, Beth Moren, ond Julie Kovich. The seven drove eighteen hours from Kansas City, Missouri to Horlon, Ken- tucky. Horlon is o small mining county located in the Southeastern part of the state. It has o population of 75,000, most of the people there used to moke their living working in the mines, until mining companies began to close and sell their mines in order to break the strength of the local unions. With many of the mines closed, much of the population has been left un- employed They hove no means of support. Families hove been left to live a life of poverty and strife The Servite Sisters ore missionaries who organize relief for the needy families of Harlan. They ore o source of food, clothing, coal, small mon- etary loons, education, ond religious instructions. Throughout the year volunteers (like the group from Avila) visit Horlon, Kentucky ond assist the sisters ond the community in any way they con. We orgonized and stored food and garments, distributed food, mingled with the people, participated in a ' workday, tutored in the school, and climbed mountains, commented Jack Park, Junior Business Major I think Avila should sponsor more v trips like this one . . so the other I students con hove the chonce to ex- I perience this — and appreciate the I food, school, and dorm rooms, said Shannon Ennis, Senior Chemistry Ma- I jor. It gives us a chonce to practice what we believe Being a Christian is more than just going to moss every Sunday, added Party Kampeter, Junior Nursing Major. — Patrick C.
