NIKKI WESLEY/ OAKVILLE BEAVER ...GONE TOMORROW: The men in The Oakville Beaver editorial and photography departments are shaving their heads on Friday to raise money for the Oakville/Burlington Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.The head shav- ing is being held in honour of two women at The Oakville Beaver who are currently undergoing treatment against cancer. Pictured here with all their hair some more than others are (l-r) Director of Photography Reg Vertolli, Managing Editor Rod Jerred, reporter Dominik Kurek, Sports Editor Jon Kuiperij and reporter David Lea. To donate to this fundraiser go to http://convio.cancer.ca/goto/OakvilleBeaver. The more water they can bring back in one trip is important because maybe that means they wont have to go and get more water the next day and also the longer they are away, the less childcare is happening back home. Bishop said Sauti Moja also provides these women with training on how to properly look after this livestock and purchases the livestock locally so they are more likely to survive. We support them with veterinary medicines, so they can stay strong. In their recent drought we learned that a lot of the livestock actually hangs on in drought, said Bishop. When they actually die is after, when the raining season comes, because they are weak and they die from chills because of the rain. So we brought extra hay in to help feed them and give them a warmer place and that really helped to sustain them. According to the Sauti Moja web- site, 50 women have received camels, 75 women have received donkeys and 516 goats have been distributed to 111 women. Sauti Moja currently has a goal of helping 1,000 widows through this program. Sauti Moja is not Bishops first charity. She previously worked with such organizations as World Vision. Bishop said she first became inter- ested in international humanitarian work during a T.A. Blakelock field trip to Columbia. This was my first exposure to what is commonly referred to as Third World conditions. As a young person growing up in Oakville I lived a fairly protected life, and through my travels, I realized that I represented only a small percentage of the world's popu- lation who could access the kind of opportunities that come with good health and good education found in Canada, said Bishop. Living a life in Canada has been a gift and a privilege that I felt put an onus on me to give back to the world, especially when so many others can't access the resources to even take care of themselves. Sauti Moja gives me an opportunity to share my good fortune. For more information, visit www.sautimoja.org. Helping villagers become self sufficient Continued from page 8
