She’s getting published!

English major Carolyn Eanes, who graduated this spring is going to have her article “Going Behind Prison Walls.” published in the fall edition of Abroad View magazine. The article highlights Carolyn’s Fall 2006 experiences serving in an Ecuadorian prison during the semester that she studied at the University of San Francisco Quito.

Shortly after arriving in Ecuador, she watched a documentary about the desperate conditions of children growing up in Ecuadorian prisons while their mothers are incarcerated. Armed with a passion to make a difference, she made an appointment with the warden of El Inca Women’s Prison in Quito and left with permission to minister to the children throughout her semester in Quito.

She chronicles her experiences in an article “Going Behind Prison Walls.”

Congratulations Carolyn!

  1. Daryl Ann Anderson Said,

    Congrats again, Carolyn! I’m honored that my photo will be accompanying your article, and I look forward to seeing it soon.

    As you know, my heart also goes out to the women and children at El Inca. I hope to make a return trip next year to bring more toys and clothing for the little ones and to share fellowship with the women. It is so deperately needed behind those walls!

    Best wishes to you as you begin what I hope will be a rewarding writing career! Follow your heart!
