Jaunches
campaign
to raise
funds

NORMAN LONG, chairman of
USC Canada’s Board of Directors,
recently launched the agency’s an-
nual fund-raising campaign for
over $3 million, to support self-
help programs in six countries in
Asia and Africa.

“USC Canada’s primary role in
the development and management
of aid program is as a funding
agency,"’ said Long.

*‘Local representatives are
assuming increased responsibility
for development and supervising
programs and assisting in the
strengthening of indigenous non-
governmenta! organizations.

“USC Canada is placing even
greater emphasis on the quality of
programming and Ottawa-based
program officers have stepped up
overseas surveys from one to two
visits a year.’”

USC Canada was founded by
Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova in 1945.
A pioneer in international
development, Dr. Hitschmanova
led her agency from postwar relief
to complex development programs.

“Dr. Lotta was a practical hu-
manitarian, and her unquestion-
able integrity earned her the
respect and confidence of Cana-
dians from coast to coast. This is
the legacy she left us. Programs
change from year to year, but the
USC philosophy of careful
stewardship, the insistence on a
partnership which places responsi-
bility on the shoulders of both
donor and recipient, and the policy
of never outstaying your usefulness
in any country, remains unchang-
ed.”

Grants and donations are
received from the Canadian Inter-
national Development Agency
(CIDA); the provincial gov-
ernments of British Columbia,
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
Manitoba; foundations, clubs,
groups; and individuals across
Canada. .

USC Canada is a Canadian in-
ternational development agency,
without religious affiliations, sup-
ported by people of ail faiths.
