And they're the very same things that underprivileged children from the city's downtown core never experience. experience. To help inner city children children enjoy a holiday in the country, a Manvers Township Township woman is working on a plan in which rural and small-town families would provide a home for a city child for one or two weeks. She calls her project "Country "Country Connections". "I'm very optimistic. I think a lot of people will open up their homes to these kids," said Sue Schlombs. Mrs. Schlombs, a mother of five who lives on a hobby farm in Manvers Township, said she developed the idea from a "Fresh Air" program which is operated for the benefit of youngsters in New York City. This program has been functioning for a long time and attracts literally thousands of young people to a life in the country for a few weeks each summer.

But they aren't exactly the same as the experience of a host family taking care of an inner-city child and sharing their lives with him or her. Mrs. Schlombs explained that in order to start the program, she wrote to 21 organizations organizations in Toronto out lining her proposition and asking if they would participate. participate. That initial inquiry led to a positive response from the Catholic Children's Aid Society which has agreed to recommend 20 children for a stay in the country this summer. "Now it's up to me to find the host families," Mrs. Schlombs explained.

Such a family may have youngsters already already or they may be an older couple whose children children have left the nest.

They must be screened to ensure that they are suitable participants. participants. And the youngsters sent to the country are also screened to ensure that they will be a good match for the host family. The organizer of Country Connections adds that the experience of rural life will be educational not only for the city children but also for their hosts. At the moment, Sue Schlombs is the driving force behind Country Connections, Connections, although she has support from her husband and a number of friends. As with all new projects, there's considerable organizational organizational work required. required.
