This year, PKS raised money to film a documentary about the Ulpan Valley that will bring awareness to the Guatamalan government.
PKS has worked for the World Vision 30 Famine during cause week for the past few years. But this year, Co-Chairs of cause week Caroline Cook, junior history and law, justice and society major, and Lynsey Myers wanted to do something different.
They found out about the documentary the first week of school this semester, and decided to devote the earnings of the week toward bettering the situation in Ulpan Valley by promoting the documentary.
As with most projects put together by Lipscomb’s students, this project involves students from all different studies.
“The entire project is holistic,” Cook said. “Communication students are making the documentary, an English student is doing articles for the website and several pre-med students have gone [to the Valley] on a spring break mission trip.”
Cook is confident with the results of cause week. She and her fellow PKS members have put in long hours and frequently been discouraged, but she feels that their effort has been worth it.
Through cause week, PKS raised over $1,400 toward promoting the documentary for Ulpan Valley.
