Appalachia

Premise

Appalachia Landscape Bringing dignity, health, joy, and love to children right here in the United States . . . in beautiful Appalachia!


Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long been associated with and struggled with poverty.
