Can you give $20 to support our Appalachia service trip?

Host family in Barcelona?  A very good, young woman who is a Catholic student at a midwest university will be studying spanish in Barcelona next year.  She is looking for a host couple or family with whom she can live for the school year so she can be fully immersed in the language and culture.  If you know of a family, please email me at chaplain@gwcatholic.com.
--------------------------------------------

A group of GW Catholics, Amy (our campus minister), and I will go on a service trip to Appalachia (Charleston, West Virginia) over spring break, March 10-17. It's called "Alternative Spring Break". We will be building and renovating homes for low-income families.


The students have to raise $10,000 in order to go on the trip. This covers their transportation, housing, project fees, tools, food, gas, etc.  Can you help them meet their goal?

You can help send these students on the trip by donating through our website. Click on today's title which will take you to our new site, then go to "Make a Gift". Click on the orange PayPal "donate" button. Your donation will go to the GW Newman Center which will put it toward the Alternative Spring Break trip.


A donation of $20 will pay for a student's housing for a night.

A donation of $50 will pay for a student's tools and equipment for the week.
A donation of $100 will pay for a student's transportation for the week.


On behalf of the students, thank you very much for your generosity!
