JO, #05me/ 43145 (}? +0p +1 HAPiCA ackaqes +0 SINCE ‘82 Work had special rewards tion dedicated to serving the needs of the world‘s poor and suffering. "The slogan of World Vision is caring for people with the compassion of Christ and we‘re strongly motivated to serve in some capacity," said Martin, a doctor on Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital‘s courtesy staff. "Both Adrienne and myself have always focussed on the homeless, the underpriviâ€" leged and kids who have been kicked out and we‘ve done a lot of volunteer work with them." As a fourthâ€"year medical student at Queen‘s University, he visited Africa for six weeks three years ago. Adrienne â€" then his fiancee â€" was unable to go because she was writing her thesis for her honours in psychology degree at the same university. But they vowed they would go together one day after they married and before they had children. Adrienne, an actress who has played a lawyer in the popular daytime soap Divorce Court as well as other television parts, said she wished she had conâ€" quered the gutteral, hardâ€"toâ€"learn Somali language before she went to Africa. However, she managed to make herself understood with gestures, a few words â€" even songs â€" and that overpowering of all languages, love. Africa had always been Adrienne‘s dream, for what reason she couldn‘t describe. The threeâ€"year drought in Kenya that came to the world‘s attention in May of last year and the incredible human toll it took spurred them on to volunâ€" teer their services to World Vision. "A smile, or a song or a hug speaks a thousand words," she said. "Often, the kids had lost both parents, their brothers and sisters. All their herds that they relied on for food might have died. Yet the kids still had a smile for you." _ As the only two "expatriots" in a 10â€"member Kenyan team that daily visited native villages set up around Lehely, she helped train native women to make straw mats, thus providing some degree of comfort in the low, dark huts these nomadic people made of branches covered with straw, burlap sacks or whatever else they could find. She helped dole out the highâ€"energy milk children under five years old drank every day and monitored their weight and height to ensure they were growing satisfactorily. Aware of this scene of stark survival, both of them had prepared themselves for a lifestyle in Africa far different than that in Canada. And different it was! Adrienne sloughed over the "filthiness" of the camp, choosing to concentrate instead on the part she played in the drama of rehabilitation. Education took more time and patience than supplying food, however., Carefully and cautiously â€" and mainly through pictures â€" the volunteers taught camp residents how to quell the camps‘ greatest killer, diarrhoea, by keeping their excrement and garbage away from water sources. As part of the team, they held seminars on disease prevention, health and nutrition and immuâ€" nized children against the most prevalent diseases. They trained local people as community health workers who could follow up and report daily on the sick people the team had treated. _ "T‘d bring the sickest back to the town (of Wajir) at the end of the day to be cared for in the hospital there," said Martin. That all this activity is well worth while can be easily determined by the decrease in the death toll â€" from 10 a day to one or two in Lehelyâ€" since agencies like World Vision came on the scene.
