We both serve to inform the student body to human rights issues and abuses around the world, as well as provide opportunities for students to act in ways the contribute to the solution to these problems through letter writing campaigns and other charitable work.

Building Tomorrow
In order to help children in Uganda have a chance to receive an eucation in adequate facilities for learning, with grounds for play. Provide information about the state of education in Uganda to students at Kenyon. Promote a general message of the power of a good education. Raise money to build a classroom (5,000 USD) and eventually a school (45,000 USD). Improve both access to and quality of education for children in Uganda, and promote a connection between Ugandan and Kenyon students.APSO (Appalachian People's Service Organization)
Love to lend a hand? The Appalachian Service Organization travels to Appalachia (traditionally either to West Virginia or Kentucky) during October Break and for a week of Spring Break to do work in needy communities. We have built playgrounds and a skate park ramp, painted everything from fences to gymnasiums, dug ditches, participated in cleanups, and more! If you'd like more info, please email apso@kenyon.edu. The trips are little to no cost for participants, and the more the merrier!

OhioACTION
The title of OhioACTION alludes to "Ohio Taking Action". We plan to partake in relief work in various areas of the country (specifically Midwest and Gulf Coast), building off of our extensive history in New Orleans. Although we have been mostly reactive in the past, we will include a proacive approach.
