IT’S A LONG Way

from West Vancouver.
‘to Somalia, but 19 year

old Jason ‘Hart has
already begun the
journey via Salmon
Arm.

Jason is one of 35 young
Canadians chosen to take
part in this year's Canada
World Youth exchange pro-
gramme. He and six other
Canadians will join seven
Somalian young prople in
Salmon Arm where they will
live with families and work
on community oriented pro-
jects for three and a half
months.

Jason doesn't speak
Somalian, and most of the
Somalians don’t speak much
English, so the main com-
munication will be in limited
French, through a
translator, and of course
through sign language.

“I've been looking through
a Somalian-English dic-
tionary to pick up a few
words,” Jason said, to help
prepare himself.

For the Canadians, the

Salmon Arm and then |

real adventure begins in
November when the whole
group travels from Salmon
Arm to Somalia for another
three and a half months.

Jason is “not really. sure
what to expect” when he gets
to Somalia, but he is
“interested in what develop-
ment such countries are go-
ing through.” The communi-
ty he will be going to is most-
ly agricultural so. he will be
living and working with a
familyonafarm. —

After a year at Capilano
College, studying science
and arts, he decided to. apply
to Canada World Youth to
travel to a third world coun-
try. ae

He was interested:in learn-
ing about developing coun-
tries and he also.saw it as a
“chance to get some traelling
in without costing anything.”

The program, which has
been operating for 12 years,
is designed to give: young
people ) better.
understanding of themselves
while discovering other parts
of the world.

Anyone 17 to 20 can apply
from December to mid
February. For more. infor-
mation, contact. 732-5113.
