On March 4th, 2017, HESA members participated in UA Crossroads’ Serve Better Together interfaith community service day at Crestmont Elementary School in Northport, Ala. Serve Better Together, affiliated with the Interfaith Youth Core’s national Better Together initiative, aims to encourage interaction across various religious, non-religious, and spiritual views and beliefs through engaging in community service together. Also participating were students from the Iranian Students Association, the Saudi Students Association, and UA’s elementary education academic program. HESA members helped to beautify the school through spreading reclaimed pine straw and new playground mulch, and finished the day with a Crossroads-facilitated discussion over a taco and nacho bar regarding the recent U.S. Executive Orders and immigration bans. The discussion featured a panel of doctoral students and faculty from affected countries, and offered participants a chance to hear first-hand the lived experiences of those who have been personally impacted by the bans. Powerful stories ensued.
That same evening, HESA members took a break from campus and traveled to Sarah Kathryn’s family farm in nearby Moundville, Ala. for an evening of games, food, drinks, fun, and puppies! SK’s wonderful mother catered and set up the cutest outdoor eating area and bonfire, and HESA members enjoyed BBQ, pasta salad, cookies, s’mores, and so much more. Some members also brought their puppies and turned the event into a puppy play date! Perhaps the most fun part of the night was the game of Heads Up that members played around the fire, requiring a vaster knowledge of accents, Broadway shows, and early-90s music than people may have truthfully been ready for! Nevertheless, HESA members had a blast and took home lots of leftovers (and the strong scent of campfire)! |
