DENMON Staff Writer Six College Misericordia stu- dents and Sister Andre Dembow- ski returned home Saturday, July 7, after spending six weeks in Guyana working with the poor, convalescents, orphans and in medical centers. “It was a tremendous experi- ence,” said Noel Powers. “The people were incredible. They opened their homes and their hearts to us; they would give us anything. It was our first experi- ence in Guyana and we all went to different spots to work. “We stayed together at the Diocese Youth Center run by the Anglicans but we were hosted for dinner every Tuesday and Thurs- day nights by the different fami- lies, rich or poor. The food was the same in any of the homes, but the conditions were different. Some- times we had lights, in others there were blackouts and we would eat by candlelight.” The six girls who went were Christine Hess, Paula Quick, Noel Powers, Nancy Steffan, Tricia Toczydlowski and Trina Schoonover. Sister Andre Dem- bowski, RSM also went with the girls. Noel worked with the poor and convalescent children; Nancy worked at a hospital and some- times at a night shelter (soup kitchen). Tricia worked at the Mercy Hospital with polio reha- bilitation as did Trina, but Trina also was with Comeneus Primary School with children in remedial reading. Paula worked at a conva- lescent home for children who were abandoned or recovering from ill- ness. Chris worked at the Mercy Hospital and at a convalescent home. Some play was mixed with the work, and while in Guyana the students went to see the world's largest single drop waterfall. BACK FROM GUYANA - Six College Misericordia students and Sr. Andre Dembowski, RSM., returned July 7 from six weeks in Guyana.

(Post Photo/C.M. Denmon) “It was breathtaking,” Noel said. “It was called Keituer Falls. We also went to Santa Rosa Mission in the jungle in the interior and it was beautitul. They have electric blackouts and very few homes have phones. If they do have them they don’t work well but the people don’t mind. They just adjust to what they have. “The people don’t have any for- mal time-tables; we did but if we were a little late they accepted it. In the interior the transportation was very primitive. The people did a lot of walking, bike riding or horse- back riding. We stayed in the city of Georgetown and we used a car.” Sr. Andre explained that the Santa Rosa Mission was about 160 years old, the oldest in the coun- try, and was used by the Sisters of Mercy as an orphanage and school until the late 1960's. The Santa Rosa Mission and the St. Cuthbert Missions were also in the interior and the missions are the homes of the Amerindians, the indigenous people of the interior. “They are a very quiet people,” explained Sr. Andre. “They are people of agriculture and each has Religious services Ba » 54 X COMMUNITY CHURCH OF DALLAS (across from Chapel Lawn Cemetery on Harveys Lake Memo- rial Highway.) 675-3723.

They fish in the creeks and many live in huts, some of them up on stilts with wide open walls. There is no industry in the interior.” “The highlight of our trip was going into the homes of the people,” Noel said. “They have a real sense of pride and their homes are spot- less. Their food is simple and plain. There are Europeans, Oriental, East Indians, Portuguese, blacks (Afros) and the Amerindians.” There is a youth group in Fran- klin, ages 16 to 26, which gathers weekly. They socialize and have a deep sense of interpersonal rela- tionship. The art of conversation was the highlight of the meetings. A blackout brought the people together, according to Noel. “It's a happy culture and the pace of living is slow. The people told us we had the North American walk,” Noel said. Sr. Jennifer Baker came to this area from Guyana. She is a mem- ber of the Sisters of Mercy Order and lives at Emmaus House on Lackawanna Avenue, Dallas. “This country is so different,” Sister said. “In Guyana I used to see the people on the street. They were lively and would say ‘Hi.’ Here, everything is so mechancial, so cool. All through Mass today I was homesick, think- ing of Guyana. I am honored that the students came back and are so enthusiastic, sharing their experi- ences with others. In Guyana, the people are wealthy spiritually and in families and in hospitality and warmth of heart,” Sister said. “We would like to return to Guyana again,” said Christine Hess. “The work we did was very reward- ing. We always had time for the students and we worked hard with the handicapped. We worked with * the youth group which had dn 40 kids with whom we shared a three-week program. We loved their friendship. “The orphans were the most dif- ficult to say goodbye to when we were leaving,” Chris said. “When we were leaving they gave us plaques and it was rewarding to see the smiles of the people we helped. “The food was different from our food here but it was food. We had chow mein, rice, curry and roti, dholl-puri, pepper pot and cook-up rice,” said Christine. “It was all delicious,” added Noel. “Will we go back again? Indeed we will if we can,” the girls all agreed. ff 675-5201 Extension 223 Dallas School District SUMMER COMPUTER CAMP August 1990 Open to all students who reside in the Dallas School District To register, please call \ Baskets Make Beautiful Gifts Also Silks & Trees baskets New Summer Hours Tues., Wed., Fri, 10-5 p.m.; Thurs. 10-8 p.m.; Sat. 10-4 p.m.; Sun.
