EI Salvador child
‘adopted’ by

N. Van couple

Life will be a lot brighter
in future for four-
Idalma Elizabeth Calles of El
Salvador and her family
thanks to the generosity of a
North Vancouver couple.

Dirk and Susan Embacher
of North Van have recently
become the little girl's foster
parents through Foster
Parents Plan of Canada. The
“adoption” consists of sen-
ding Idalma Elizabeth and
her parents a regular mon-
thly donation.

The father is a_ small

farmer renting his piece of
land for the equivalent of
$12 per month.

Moccasins — Pottery
Indian Sweaters

The Mafl Bos and Company Store

He has to pay this out of a
total monthly income of less
than $32. The family’s food
— cor, beans, rice, sugar
and milk — takes up another
$19 of thatsum. |

Fortunately, the family
owns the little adobe house
where they live. It consists of
a single room and kitchen,
with no bathroom or latrine.
Water has to be carried from
public taps.

The standard monthly
contribution under Foster
Parents Plan is modest in
Canadian terms. But the Em-
bacher’s help will make a
tremendous difference tothe
Calles family.

Foster Parents Plan is cur-
rently working im _ Asia,
Africa, Central America,
South America and the Mid-
dle East. Over 160,000
children are currently being
aided by individuals, groups
and families in Canada,
Australia, the Netherlands
and U.S.A.

Appeal

Volunteer drivers provide
a very helpful service to
clients of the Ministry of
Human Resources. Without
them, a lot of children would
not receive the regular
therapy, day care, or special

schooling they need.

The drivers are both men
and women who feel the
need to do something extra
with their free time, who can
relate to children, and who
have a car and a safe driving
record. The Ministry of
Human Resources = reim-
burses the volunteers’ driv-
ing gosts.

Single parents, or parents
who both work, find it im-
possible to manage the add-
ed chore of taking children
with special needs to and
from hospitals or treatment
centres. That is why the
volunteer driver makes a
strong impact on the child's
opportunities and the
families’ peace of mind.

“The Art Department at the NORTH SHORE NEWS ts now open and

children to Laurel House,
