A 13-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl in two Third World countries can look forward to a brighter

future thanks to the generosity of a North Vancouver resident.

Borhan Hessain Ali of Sudan and Animism Kiougou Sawadogo of Upper Volta have recently been “adopted” under Foster Parents Plan of Canada by Melvyn Johnson of North Van.

His contribution of $38

per month brings help not only to the foster children themselves, but to every member of their families. The total annual income of Borhan's family (father, mother, three sisters and a brother) is approximately $360 U.S. Animism’s family (husband, two wives and 10 children) lives almost en-

economy, dependent for subsistence on their produce and animals.

The $19 for each family provides free medical and dental care, free prescriptions, the sustained guidance and counselling of social workers and the benefits of many special programs. Several of these programs affect entire communities, providing wells for pure water, and schools for the children.

All foster children and their brothers and sisters, age permitting, are en- couraged to attend school. Where suitable, vocational training courses are made available, free of charge, for

foster children, their brothers and sisters, and where practical, their parents.

The dbjective is to provide the family with the tools to help them become in- dependent and _ self- supporting. All programs are adapted to the needs of each country and latterly tend to be concentrated in rural areas, where the whole community can benefit, particularly through mass inoculations etc.

Foster parents and foster children correspond regularly (letters are tran- slated by PLAN) and often develop warm and _ af- fectionate relationships which mean as much to the child as the material and financial aid.

Foster Parents Plan is currently working in seventeen countries in Asia, Africa, Central and South America. Over 120,000 children are currently being aided by individuals, groups and families in Canada, Australia, The Netherlands and U.S.A.
