coordinator.
Participants

for each kilometer they walk.
The walk is the first held in south
west Brunswick County, though
walks have been held in the South
port and Wilmington areas. It is
sponsored by the South Brunswick
Interchurch Council, a coalition of
local that work together to address
local human needs.

at St. Brendan's Catholic Church, to

"Over 27 million people face star
vation in Africa alone," said King.
"Even our worst poverty in North
Carolina isn't anywhere near as bas
as what people arc facing in places
like Nigeria, Zaire and Chad."
He expressed concern that die pre
sent focus on helping the Middle East
recover may take attention from the
plight of other Third World countries.
Church World Service uses most
of the money raised through CROP
to teach agricultural practices, im
prove living standards through basic
health care, disaster relief and ser
vices to refugees. Currently the
agency is helping provide blankets
to refugees of the Middle East War.
