In no other part of the world do such vast and stark contrast co-exist, according to a pamplet being distributed by the group. The students and staff will be living in the fellowship hall of a church in McAllen, Texas. Each day they will travel ten miles to the Reynosa, a community on the Mexico side of the border to work. McBride said they are not sure what the work will be. “It could be we'll be helping to build a dwelling - a house*’ The community the group will be helping to establish is sited on a dump. They have no electricity, no sewage and no clean water. The toatal budget for the trip is $6,000. The group plans to give $1,500 of that to the Puentes de cristo as a gift. They will be ask ing the entire college community for silver change donations. Some of the remaining $4,500 will be ftinded by the college, but the majority must be raised by the group. They plan to raise some of this money selling "shares in the project. The shares will cost $10 each. Shareholders will recieve a printed shareholders certificte, a post card from the group while they are in Mexico, and an inveta- tion to a dinner for the shareholders , where they will hear about the trip. The group consist of Rev. McBride and Betsy Savage; Kristi Blake. Drew Christian, Missy Greaves, John McCormick, Marie Pilkington, Melisa Privett, Faith Uhar, Kim Stanly, and Anne Withers.
