Faces of Appalachia | Remembering them this holiday season

By | Lisa Lacy

These photos are from my personal collection. I work with www.applachianministries.com and distribute clothing and Christmas gifts to low income families.





I am new to youtube and had tried unsuccessfully to upload better quality photos. After resizing and reducing quality it finally worked though the photos are not as clear as I had hoped.



The hauntingly beautiful audio track was written and performed by Gwen Wells (www.gwenwells.com) and is titled, "The Sweetest Sound" She is an amazingly talented friend! CDs are available from her website.



Oh a personal note-- I know all the kids, can tell you their stories and the names of their brothers and sisters. This video was not posted to embarrass anyone or belittle the culture or people of Appalachia.
