Students Choose Appalachia During Spring Break
West Virginia and Kentucky among group's destination.
BUFFALO, NY - More than 90 Canisius College students, faculty, campus ministers and staff will travel to the mountains of Appalachia during their upcoming spring break, March 31 – April 6, 2001.
The group will spend the week working with Almost Heaven Habitat for Humanity in Cherry Grove, West Virginia, Christian Appalachian Project (CAP) in Martin County, Kentucky and Phelps Area Habitat for Humanity in McCarr, Kentucky.
This is the eleventh year that Canisius students have been making the trek to Appalachia, one of the poorest regions of the country, to build and renovate housing and visit with the elderly.
The trip to Appalachia provides students with the opportunity to experience the rural poverty that exists in the country as they work side by side with college students from across the nation.
The Appalachia trip is an alternative spring break project sponsored by the Canisius College Office of Campus Ministry.
