QSA welcomes Earlham students
Students from Earlham College are visiting Quaker Social Action
Four students from Earlham College, Indiana, an American university founded by Quakers, are visiting Quaker Social Action (QSA).
Thea White, Kyra Williams, Hao Nguyen and Brittani Reno will be with QSA until April, working on two major research projects. Thea and Kyra are researching food poverty while Hao and Brittani are looking into QSA’s history as the charity looks forward to its 150th anniversary in 2017.
Hao and Brittani will be contacting people who have been involved in QSA over the years. They said: ‘QSA’s annual reports are a treasure trove of insight into the changing face of poverty and how Quaker communities have taken action. We can’t wait to speak with Friends who can bring some of these documents to life with their memories.’
Quakers with QSA stories or history are asked to get in touch with the charity.
QSA director Judith Moran told the Friend: ‘So far, Friends have written some wonderful letters remembering our charity’s work, including memories from world war two and the beginnings of our oldest running project, Homestore, in 1989. These stories spur us on to deliver our mission and reach even more people in the future.’
