Relief Worker Speaks to Students by Andrea Adair Dirk Booy doesn't call his work in Tanzania missionary missionary work. ■/; He works for the Christian Christian Reform World Relief committee and sees himself as a relief worker. "I wanted to see the world and travel," he recalled, recalled, explaining that was how he entered this line of work that he enjoys so well. Mr. Booy spoke to students students at Durham Christian High School on May 27 about his work. He also informed informed them that there are a number of these types of jobs available where students students can gain valuable experience experience and see the world at the same time. Tanzania, he explained, is a country in east Africa about the size of New Brunswick. Brunswick. It has 28 million people. people. Women do most of the work in villages, while old men hold a special place in society and are sought after for their wisdom. He noted that there are "still strong warrior groups in Africa," explaining that there are over 200 different groups in existence. Thirty percent of the population population are Christian, 30 percent Muslim and the rest follow their own teachings. Witches, sorcery and the devil play a major role in their lives, Mr. Booy said. "And curses are strong," he noted, telling the story of a man living down the road from him. He was a healthy man when a curse was put on him that he would die in three days. Mr. Booy said on the third day, he was dead. "When we (relief workers) go to these people we listen to them and find out what their problems are," Dirk said, noting that water and quality of water are major areas of concern. Diarrhea and other forms of water-based disease are common, he said. Children are the main labour labour force in the community, with few going on to secondary secondary school. Fifty percent of the children don't reach the age of five. When the women survive, they are married off at 12 years of age. The women are making decisions about work, food and money while men are unoccupied for much of the time, he said. But he notes as Africa becomes becomes more modern, they are realizing they need two incomes and men are starting starting to work more in the cities. cities. However, in the villages, men's sole role is for protection. protection. The Christian Reformed World Relief Committee was formed in 1962 to respond to the needs of the world's poor. The committee believes people are best served by having their long-range needs met along with their immediate needs. '4P 104 King Street East Bowmanville RE/MAX Cornerstone Insurance is now open!

Students Wrapping Up Activities for Year End pi p* Ti Critique by Krista Lloyd On May 7, 1991 two classes from Bowmanville Senior Public School took a very long bus ride up to Stratford where they attended attended the very popular Stratford Stratford Festival. The play we had the easure of seeing was called Much Ado About Nothing." Going to see this play was a very good experience for our classes, as for the last two and a half months we have been studying and talking about Shakespeare in our core class. I thought this play was excellent, and well acted out. But my favourite part had to have been, when Claudio and Hero were about to get married, Claudio Claudio accused Hero of being seen with another man, the night before their wedding day. As well as the actor ana actresses did perform their arts, I'd have to say Goldie 'emple as Beatrice was the best. She acted as if she was really Beatrice. The lady who acted as Beatrice used a ' lot of feeling and expressed herself well. Since our two classes enjoyed enjoyed this play veiy much, I do recommend that our teacher, Mrs. Brouwer take her next years class as well. I can. guarantee that they will have the time of their lives. Critique by Shannon Green On Thursday, May the seventh, our grade eight class went to a Shakespearean Shakespearean play at the Stratford Festival. Festival. . The play was called" Much Aao About Nothing^. Our class went to see this play because we had studied Shakespeare for the past two ana a half months. Our class had a lot of fun doing the Shakespeare unit. We learned a lot of interesting interesting things. The best part I liked was when Beatrice and Benedict were arguing over the rumor that was going around about Claudio and Hero not getting getting married and how Bora- chio snuck up to the balcony on a ladder and started kissing kissing Hero. I like it because it was funny and well done. My favourite character was Benedict because he was funny, apd very conceited conceited and Biititrice was the same way, as Benedict. That's why they fell in love, they were so right for each other. In my opinion , I don't think anything needs to be improved, the seats were great ana the scenes were great too! The price was just right for us students. I would highly recommend recommend this activity being repeated repeated next year for the grade eights. It would be great fun and you can learn how Shakespeare wrote his plays. Yes, I would definitely go to the Stratford Festival again, and I would recommend recommend some of you Bowmanville Bowmanville citizens go too. I had a lot of fun. Critique by Dayle White Class 82 and 86 went to Stratford to see the Shakes- perean play "Much Ado About Nothing" on May 7, 1991. The best part for me was the whole play, but if I was to choose, one part, I enjoyed enjoyed the most it would have to be when Don John, Don Pedro's half brother was caught after fleeing from the town. My favorite character was Beatrice because of the way she chewed up Benedict and spat him out, then fell in love with him. The only thing I would improve would be if the actors actors really cried during sad scenes, although the actor portraying Hero did an excellent excellent job portraying shock at the altar when Claudio chewed her out. It would be best if this event was repeated so next year's grade eights would be able to enjoy this experience of a lifetime. I would gladly go again so I could experience this activity. activity. Critique by Keriann Connaghan On May the 7th we went to Stratford to see "Much Ado About Nothing". We went with class 82 and 86. from Bowmanville Sr. Public School. The best part of the play was when Claudio denounced denounced Hero at the wedding wedding in front of everybody. She was so shocked that she fainted and then she was pronounced dead so that Claudio would feel bod. My favourite character was Beatrice. I liked her because because she was not afraid to speak her mind. I think she was on excellent character. The seats could bo improved improved by putting the seats farther apart so you could have more room. I would recommend this activity to be repeated next year because T think the kids would really enjoy the experience we had. I would go again because I enjoyed the play and I think anybody else would enjoy the play again! Critique by Stephanie Morgan On May 7, 1991 at Stratford, Stratford, classes 82 and 86 from Bowmanville Senior Public School had the pleasure of seeing a comic Shakespearean Shakespearean play. The play was enti-' tied "Much Ado About Nothing". Nothing". We were given the opportunity of going because of our prior work with 1 Shakespeare's plays. The highlight of the play, in my opinion, was the level of energy and great personality personality that reflected from the character Benedict. He was a character that you could count on for a laugh and had even greater power with his companion Beatrice. Together Together they held my interest and received my praise when the play ended. I feel that if this trip is repeated for years to come that it would be a great attraction attraction for students and a refreshing new way of learning. learning. I would love to go again and plan on doing so before the year ends. ISO'Y^AKVILl I' d, , MV . Dr. Emily Stowe Public School held a VIP graduation at the school on Wednesday, Wednesday, May 29.
