Eastern Mennonite University students Emily Miller, Hartville, Ohio, and Chris Fretz, Mt. Joy, Pa., were among the volunteers who helped assemble relief kits for Iraqi refugees on Apr. 14. EMU students assembled around 30 kits containing 12 prescribed items - mostly personal hygiene articles - donated by students, faculty and individuals and businesses in the local community, according to Rus Pyle, Student Government Association co-president. Each kit has about a $40 value. The SGA helped coordinate the appeal over a two-week period on campus. The kits will join others assembled by area Mennonite churches for delivery to Mennonite Central Committee's Akron, Pa., headquarters for distribution.
