Why and How can we support the Ghana Trip?
A Difficult Reality:
Every day women across Ghana and much of Africa leave their homes as early as 3
A.M. to find water for their families often returning as late as 10 A.M. Some
women carry up to 20 liters on top of their heads at a distance of 5km (3
miles). Ten liters of water weighs twenty-two pounds, a fifth of a typical
woman's body weight. Many women and girls
have to miss school and forgo education because of the length of the journey.
An Upcoming Journey:
YDS Ghana Travel Seminar students will be participating in a walk/run as a
fundraiser on Saturday, FEBRUARY 28, 2004. The Yale/New Haven area will
constitute the 3-mile run/2-mile walk course layout. In reflecting upon the
weight of water some African women burden every day, some travel seminar
participants will do the run/walk wearing
book bags filled with around 22 lbs. of books.
A Source of Support:
The students participating in this walk/run appreciate any financial support
that you can pledge. Any gift counts and helps our group defray costs. We also
ask for your thoughts and prayers even if you are not able to assist us
financially. However, if you help us defray costs, please write the check out
to "TRAVEL FUND" and give it to either Yolanda Smith or Justin List.
If you would like to sponsor an individual student, write that student's name
in the check memo box. We hope you can come to one of our community
presentations in April as we share our experiences.
If you have any questions about the Ghana Travel Seminar, please contact Dr.
Yolanda Smith at Yolanda.smith@yale.edu. Questions about the walk/run can be
directed to individual students participants or Justin List at
justin.list@yale.edu.
*A recommended donation/pledge amount: $5-$10/mile…but any amount helps! Checks
can be made out to "TRAVEL FUND" and given to Yolanda Smith or
Justin List before March 2.

follow the reading.

application for Academic year 2004-2005 employment by coming to the Ministry
Resource Center by contacting Carolyn Hardin Engelhardt, Director at 203-432-5319
Baby
Sitting Service At Yale University
In November 2002 the
Women Faculty Forum submitted a proposal for the development of a Babysitting
Service at Yale. The proposal called for a link between Yale student sitters
and Yale parents. Since many child care programs are not open during
non-traditional working hours, parents often need the services of a babysitter during
those times. Providing fairly inexpensive services like this has proven to be a
great faculty and staff retention tool,
as well as a philosophically sound practice for organizations and the
communities and families that rely on them. To that end, the WorkLife
Program and the Women Faculty Forum have developed a new web-based Babysitting
Service. With the joint efforts and vision of Amanda Geraghty from
the WorkLife Program, and Rachel Thomas and Carla Eastis from the Women Faculty
Forum, the new Babysitting Service web site is now live! We will formally
announce the service in early February, but I would ask that you take a look
through it and send me any feedback about the site. The service can only be
used by members of the Yale community with a Net ID and the babysitters must be
current Yale students. Non-Yale parents will be directed to the Yale Student
Employment Office. Please click here to access the new
site: www.yale.edu/babysitting
Summer CPE Opportunities
Announcing:
The Hospital of St. Raphael here in New Haven will offer a unit of CPE
this summer. If interested, contact the Rev. Steven Voytovich at
SVoytovich@srhs.org. Reminder: The
Masonic Geriatric Center just up the road in Wallingford is seeking
applications for its summer CPE unit. If interested, contact the Rev. Ray
Cooley at RCooley@Masonicare.org.
Summer Fellowships in the Big Apple
You are invited
to apply for a fellowship to the 21st Annual Research Colloquium. Spend the
month of July in New York working on a research or writing project of your
choice with access to libraries and research facilities at Columbia University,
Union, Auburn and Jewish Theological Seminaries. At a time when religion
appears to be at the heart of humanity's gravest conflicts, it is clear that an
increased understanding of how religion affects our lives is not an option: it
is a necessity for survival. Since 1983, we have sponsored the colloquium
because we want to have an impact not only on how religion is taught and
studied, but also on the way it influences events that touch us all. To that end we invite applications for a
fellowship that will allow you to spend a month at our expense in a
collaborative learning community, diverse in race, age, gender, religion and
intellectual discipline working on a research or writing project of your
choice. The successful applicant will have a capacity for integrating personal
faith with the life of the
mind, and will outline a project that will be of interest to those outside his
or her area of academic specialization or religious tradition. For the lastest colloquium information visit:
