The non-profit is based out of Omaha and founded by Sudanese immigrants, one of whom is a WSC alumnus. Their mission is to provide clean water to South Sudan villages. Their first completed well, which was funded by Nebraskans, was named Aqua-Nebraska. Our hope is that we can raise funds for a Wayne America well. Buay Wiyual (WSC alumnus) presented Aqua-Africa information to the Wayne Rotary Chapter and to the campus at a Brown Bag event on April 4. Co-founder Buey Ray Tut will be in Wayne for the April 18 event. The wine and cheese social hour

Brown Bag Series - Conversation #4 ... Practicing the Presence of God
Wed. March 14, 2012, Noon—1:00 p.m.
SC Cottonwood Room ... Come and joint the conversation.

Bosun Babalola, WSC Graduate Student,
Richard Daniel, WSC Senior, and
Rev. Troy Reynolds, Journey Christian Church

Distinctions are easily made between the sacred and the secular; between religious and non-religious pursuits. But are they mutually exclusive or are they heavily integrated? "Practicing the Presence of God" on a regular basis can help give meaning to mundane, everyday tasks; for example, I can…connect with God by showing gratitude. In this session the conversation will be about the benefits of "practicing the presence of God' and practical ways that we can do this in our everyday lives.

COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION:

The 3rd in a Brown Bag Lunch Series
When Helping Hurts: Is Aid ALWAYS the Answer?
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Noon—1:00 p.m.
SC Cottonwood Room with Dr. Barbara Engebretsen, Educator

Based on the book “When Helping Hurts” By Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert, this conversation will focus on a Christian worldview of poverty and charity. An approach to alleviating poverty “without hurting the poor…and yourself” will be
identified. Participants of diverse belief sets will find models to consider when deciding how to really help. If you have ever wondered, “What can I do to make a difference?” this conversation is for you. We will examine our motivation, thinking and approach to providing aid to suffering people, and learn some practical tools to use when addressing the needs of the poor in our neighborhoods and the world.

Endia Casey-Agoumba To Present Education and Core Values Presentation
The 2nd in a Brown Bag Lunch Series, CCSC presents a conversation about
Education and Core Values: Education can make the difference between
a life well lived and simply existing with Endia Casey-Agoumba, author and educator

Wednesday, Feb. 15
Noon-1 p.m.
Student Center Cottonwood Room

"When I look back at my upbringing, the one thing that stands out the most is my parent's desire to mold me into a good citizen as well as a good Christian. Their belief, which came to be my belief, is that one lends itself to the other. Knowing what is right becomes doing what it is right. Understanding this, it is necessary that I allow myself to be educated, not only academically, but in all the ways that make me a valuable component in making the world I live in a happier, more civil place to live." Come and join the conversation.
