| Transcript | mmip J^^ealizing the needs of the greater Houston community, the Catholic Newman Students' Association (CNSA) decided to put together Christmas care packages for AIDS patients. The idea came from the center's secretary, Rosemary Mulcare. According to John Burke, treasurer for CNSA, the activity was a social justice # The care packages included.. .a card telline the patients that they would be prayed for. * contributions because of the fact that it was going toward AIDS patients. Surprisingly, all stores cooperated. The care packages contained basic toiletries such as shampoo, soap and powder as well as a card telling the patients that they would be prayed for during the holiday season. When the project started, the students project and the group was very hap- thought that the packages would be py with the results. Despite the success of the project, Burke was unable to acknowledge that the project would continue. The University of Houston community offered donations and neighboring supermarkets also helped support the project. When asking the store managers for donations, the group was afraid that many would refuse to give dropped off through a spokesperson. Instead, the CNSA members became overjoyed with Christmas spirit and hand-delivered the packages to the AIDS patients themselves. Participants of the event reflected on their efforts by remembering all the smiles and friendly faces. The project was one of the most rewarding projects of some of the CNSA members.-Jay Neal CATHOLIC NEWMAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION (front row)Kevin Lavery, Yi-Shiow Chung, Liang Jih-hua, Chang Hung-Junn, Jay Neal, Carla Lopez, Missy Carpenter, Kelly Moulton; (back row) Tim Oliras, Linus Lewis, Stephanie Ander- eeg, Lisa Pena, Claudia Martinez, Rene Cavazos, Alison Evans, Carl Wagner, Joe Hoepken, Jackie Driscoll.Phofo courtesy CNSA.
