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, providing wells, schools and much more

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.
