Shore residents help
poor children overseas

North Shore residents are
pitching in to help the poor
children of developing
countries in increasing
numbers.

Four such youngsters have
recently been “adopted” by
North Shore sponsors — Mr.
and Mrs. Wiebe, Mr. David
MacLean and Mr. Mike
Mont of North Vancouver,
and Miss Sarah Haydahl of
West Vancouver — through
the Foster Parents Plan of
Canada.

Two of the children, five-
year-old Wilham Ruano
Estrada and = 10-year-old
Rodas Figueroa, adopted
respectively by the Wiebes

and MacLean. live in
Guatemala

Mont. who — previously
adopted a needy child in
Indonesia. has now become
Canadian foster parent to Il
year old Micheline Dure of
Hain
Haydahl has adopted five

St. John
Ambulance

year-old Maria Tapia of
Ecuador.

The famihes of these
children struggle to maintain
hfe and health in the most
primitive conditions, with
monthly cash = incomes
ranging from $6 (in the case
of the small plantation-
farmer father of Micheline in
Haati) to $100.

Monthly contributions of
$19 from their Canadian
sponsors, therefore, make a
dramatic difference to their

living standards and
prospects.
Foster Parents Plan

provides the family with free

medical and dental care,
free prescriptions, the
sustained guidance = and

counselling of social workers
and the benefits of many
special programs. Many of
these programs benefit
communitics,

All Foster Children, their
brothers and sisters are
encourged to attend school.
Vocational training courses
are made available free of
charge for Foster Children,
their brothers, sisters and
parents. The objective is not
dependency, but to help the
family become independent
and self-supporting.

All programs are adapted
to the needs of the people
and tend to be concentrated
in rural areas, where the
whole community can
benefit, particularly through
mass moculations, etc.

The benefits to a child anc
family are clearly visible to a
Foster Parent through
regular correspondence,
which builds a warm and

meaningful relanonship that
reaches across physical and
cultural barriers.

Foster Parents Plan is
currently workmg im Asia,
Afnca, Central America,
South America, and _ the
Middle East. Over 160,000
children are currently being
aided by individuals, groups
and families m Canada,
Australia, The Netherlands,
and U.S.A.
