  • Page B-3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 16th, 2011 SPORTS WCU jerseys, athletic equipment benefit Nicaraguan youth WCU News Services A mission team from Webster Baptist Church, whose members included Western Carolina Univer- sity students and faculty, re- cently gave away WCU ath- letic jerseys and equipment to villagers they worked with in Nicaragua. The idea surfaced after the sight of a high school volleyball team in Nicara- gua practicing without a net stayed with Jackie Moore, a WCU adjunct faculty mem- _ber in the School of Teach- ing and Learning, and her daughter, Kayla Moore, who were there last year with a church group. The team had one volleyball and no uniforms or other athletic equipment. It hit me, said Kayla Moore, who played volleyball at Smoky Moun- tain High School and will join the Milligan College team this year. It was so different. We live in a place where there are carts full of balls and uniforms galore. So when the Moores re- turned to Jackson County, they met with then-WCU volleyball coach Manuel Concepcion to tell him about the experience and see if there was anything that could be donated to the team in Nicaragua. Concep- : cion and soccer coach Chad Miller agreed to help. We . had equipment within the program that we were no longer able to use, and we thought instead of throwing it away that we could give it to others who could ben- efit, said Miller, The Moores pulled to- gether about eight balls, an assortment of equipment . and two sets of jerseys and practice uniforms. Aware of the unreliability of the mail system in Nicaragua, they were afraid to ship the items and held onto them until Webster Baptist Churchs summer 2011 mission trip to Nicaragua. To their delight, they connected with one of the volleyball players not long after their arrival be- cause she had been asked to serve as the interpreter. They learned that on the same day they arrived, the girl had made arrangements to borrow a computer to try to ask for sponsors so their vol- leyball team could acquire equipment. When she saw what we had brought, she responded with a part-laugh, part-cry, said Jackie Moore. She be- gan texting the players and the coach. The . volleyball equip- ment was not the mission - teams only tie to WCU. The team worked with 2006 alumna Stephanie Schutz Estrada, who serves as a full-time missionary with Globe International in charge of short-term mission teams in Nicaragua. The trip was coordinated by WCU alumni Carrie Hachadurian, administrative support as- _ sociate in WCUs Writing and Learning .

Among the 12 participating mission team members were Moore and WCU students Alicia Fowler, a freshman from Cullowhee; John Luke > Carter, a junior professional writing major from Wilm- ington; Kyrie Carlson, a senior nutrition and dietet- ics major from Vero Beach, Fla.; and Corey Benfield, a senior health and physical education major from Ca- tawba. : While in Nicaragua, they led villagers from.

The prizes for their soccer. tournament were WCU jerseys. They got to know people in the village and saw their lean-to houses with dirt floors and.no elec- tricity. They helped repair a school in a place where the number of people who com- plete primary school stands at just more than 25 percent. Ina question-and-answer session with women of the village, Jackie Moore was asked if she had one of the things that a person cooks _on indoors. She confirmed Co CIN THE WALMART PLAZA) excellence. our passion. * www.medwesthealth.org that she did, described her smoke detector and demon- strated the noise it makes when she burns her food. They laughed so hard, and they couldnt believe men would grill. There, men dont cook, said Moore. Benfield said he was moved to see the soccer players in the village rac- ing to pick up the ball after a play to keep it from get- ting dirty. He was surprised by the strength of the com- munity and how they all ap- plauded and congratulated the winners of the contests. He also was struck by how people came and followed the members of the mission team. They dont want you to leave, said Benfield. Fowler shared how im- pressed she was that so many came to a rainy hot dog cookout in which they gave away hundreds of hot dogs, chips, cookies and other items: It was pour- ing rain not cats and dogs, but horses and cows, said Fowler. Even under the shelter we were under at the school, we were getting soaked. The food line was long, yet even after receiv-' ing food, the adults waited until every child had a hot dog before eating. On the last day, the group held a bicycle race and gave away two new bicycles to the winners. Bicycles are important in the village. They mean a person can get a job outside their community. A bicycle represents a better future, said Carrie Hachadurian. Benfield concurred. To us, its just.a bike, he said. But, to them, its every- thing.
