.* SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE Volunteers learn through experience. . . to Pan Am, for their con IS -FRIDAY. AUGUST 25.1978 World is a classroom for dedicated helpers Education is a process which is at home as much outside the classroom as it is within. The world offers vast horizons and many different learning situations, in many places all over the globe, for those who take the trouble to search for them. The Thomas A. Dooley- Intermed Foundation is one organization which offers dedicated people, who wish to volunteer their time and energy to work in such under-developed countries as Nepal and India, the chance to learn and serve others at the same time. Since its inception in 1961, the Foundation has become a living expression of the late Dr. Dooley's belief that people all over have the in­ alienable right to good health. Barbara Baker Martinelli, originally of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is one of many w h o a g r e e w i t h t h i s philosophy, and who have expressed their belief by vol­ unteering to help with the Foundation's work. Her stay in northern Nepal was a natural extension of dreams which date back to her teen years, to the time when she would pore for hours over copies of National Geographic. After 10 years as an em ; ployee of Pan American Air­ ways. her chance to explore a remote region of Asia, to help provide the people there with health care of which they were in desperate need, and to learn about them and their country first-hand, finally ar­ rived. A chance meeting with I)r Verne Chaney. founder and president of the Dooley- lntermed Foundation, was just the impetus Barbara Martinelli needed. She applied to the Founda­ tion and to Pan Am, who has over the years arranged transportation for the almost 300 volunteers, all airline personnel, who agreed to do­ nate three months of their time, without pay, to work with the Dooiey-lntermed Foundation. Once she was accepted, Ms. Martinelli was sent to Katmandu, the capital of Nepal, where she spent two weeks in intensive study of t h e r u d i m e n t s o f t h e Nepalese language, before heading for the Gorkha dis­ trict to join official medical personnel who were already there. In Northern Nepal, her work consisted of treating natiV«*3U)d immunizing chil­ dren against the multiplicity of serious diseases, such as diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, which are so prevalent in such areas of the world. She was also in on the beginnings of a two-year sur­ vey which will eventually en­ able the Nepalese govern­ ment to improve health con­ ditions throughout the coun­ try. It was far from unusual for Ms. Martinelli, and those with whom she worked, to walk five or six hours to reach remote villages. Fre­ quently, they were the first westerners the inhabitants of these villages had ever seen and. consequently, winning t h e c o n f i d e n c e o f t h e Nepalese people was a large part of her job. For Barbara Martinelli, and others like her, volun­ teering for a stint in India or Nepal was an educational experience, a chance to broaden their own horizons, and an opportunity to do im­ measurable good in an area where the need is great. For the people of Nepal and India, the program will mean diagnosed and cures for diseases for which they have no names. The Foundation s efforts, under the expert guidance of Dr. Chaney, will be felt for years to come. Thanks are due to many people and organizations: to those individuals who trav­ eled to India and Nepal to help; to NASA (who devel­ o p e d a c o m m u n i c a t i o n s satellite which placed remote villages within reach of med­ ical centers via radio) and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, for the techni­ cal support they contribute to a highly unusual program which utilizes solar energy; tinued sponsorship; and to t h e m a n y t h o u s a n d s o f people who have contributed funds which assure the con­ tinuance of the Foundation's work.

Child's room should reflect a personality Just as a man's home is his castle, a child's room should be his or her own private place. We all need some personal space--a place to express ourselves and be alone with our thoughts and dreams. Children are no exception. A child's room should ex­ press his or her personality, interests and hobbies. Be thoughtful of your chil­ dren's needs when you deco­ rate their rooms. Place shelves and hooks for cloth­ i n g a t t h e c h i l d ' s l e v e l . Allow the child some room to surround himself or herself with the toys, books and other things that he or she enjoys. If you let children help decorate their own rooms, it will also give them a chance to experiment with their own tastes and ideas. W - One way you can let your child express his or her own personality in a room is with a Photodoor, the new con­ cept in home decorating from Scandecor. Photodoor is de­ signed to cover the whole door and is available in a range of designs.

Photodoor is inexpen­ sive (about $17.95) and easy to apply--just dip the pre- pasted paper in water for about 25 seconds and apply it to the door. It's so easy, your children can change their decor as they grow and change their hobbies, interests and fan­ tasies. n Back to class. Stock up here. 200-ct filler paper.
