2009 First-year trip!
Our first year trip was a great success this year. This year’s first year class was assigned the topic of immigration. Originally, we were hoping to take the first year trip to Mexico, however the economy, political violence on the border, and the swine flu all combined to force us to cancel the trip. After much searching and prayer, we were finally put in touch with the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus who run a community center and after school program for the immigrant community in Athens, GA. A full account of our first year trip is now on the front page of the MC website: MC’s annual Bonner service trip focuses on immigration.
Bonners Serving Abroad Thanks to the Junior/Senior Leadership Grant, our upperclassmen Bonners are off to Ecuador on July 26th. They will be working with the orphanage, Aldeas Infantiles S.O.S., an international non-profit organization. The agency cares for orphaned children on the basis of four principles; Mother, Brother, House and Village. The Mother is usually a full time volunteer who takes care of approximately eight children. The Brother is an older child who helps the mother with basic day-today operations. The House is the place where each family lives with their own belongings and responsibilities. Finally, the Village is a community of about twelve family houses. This allows the children the chance to have a more traditional home and neighborhood experience, rather than a traditional orphanage setting. RaeKenya Walker, a junior child development and sociology double-major at Maryville College, was among five college students in Tennessee to be named recipient of the 2008 Harold Love Outstanding Community Involvement Award sponsored by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
