WHITY FRE PRSSThursday, December 2nd, 1971 , Page 7 WHA TDO YO U WA NT FOR CHRIS TMA S Lots of good things. .. and ten to one you can afford most of them. But what would you want for Christ- mas if you w e r e a Peruvian farm 1 ab- ourerworking the soit of a vast rancho fo r as Ii t tle as 65 cents a day - or a fi1 sherman in the Philippines trying to feed, cl1othe and shelter afamily on, $336 a year - or the head of an East A fri c an f am ily 1look ing forward to an income of $125 in 1972? A study into the Iack of earning power lt's not just a matter of money or the lack of it. OXFAM CANADAS concern is what 1lies BEHIND the 1lack of earning power - and what can be done to change the situation. What CAN b e done ? Do we wrap up pi les of Canadian Christmas goodies and sbip theïmoff to people in the developing w o rld ?No -b e ca use itwon't help. Ha n d-outs are not the answer to any- thing. Just a start What people in developing countries n-eed and wan t is tool1s an d knowl1edge so they can help themselves. And they WILL help themselves. . . theyilI feed, clothe, educate and shel ter themselves... carry outtheir responsibilities as citizens of the wor Id... if you give thf-m a START a . . t h rough OXFAM-sponsored Self- Help Projects. C on s !der the farmi worker in Quil1- m ana. Canadi an farmers have enough know- h ow to grow a bumper crop in a sand- box. lt's different in Qui Imana. Farmers there have no education. Their farming methods are downright prlm itive by Can- adian standards. They're not sufficiently organized to take advantage of the Ag- rarian Reforms that were made in 1968 by the P e r u vian Government. So they l ab our on vast ranchos in many cases for the princely sum of 65 cents a day! W i th a grant of $4, 300 from OXFAM, so c ial workers Andre Legaul t and hi s w i f e are educating the farm workers, te aching tbem better farming methods, and counselling them on the* advantages of forming their own co-operatives. The jo b won't be f inished overnight. It bas just started. The point is - it bas been been started. And from past experience OXFAM kn o ws the farmers wil11 finish the job themselves! What of the fi shermen in Santa Cruz ? On the mountainous isl and of Mindanao in t h e P h i I i p pines, the f ishermen of Santa Cruz Parish earn an average of $336 annual ly. On an income of, $33b a year, you 1iv e, in a small1 grass but, depend on ramn for drinking water and eat little more than corn and fisb. Life is not exactly rosy and wben you're hit by a typhoon, and wben your f ishing can- oes, homes and possessions are totally de stroyed, your life is ended - you're w i p e d out. You have no reserve from which to re-build. Unless, of course, someonewants to help you. Rev. Henri Veilleuxof the Foreign Mission Society of Quebec, bis family and friends wan- ted to help. To date, tbey've replaced 50 of t he 500 fi shing canoes that were destroyed. A $2e00grant from OXFAM CANADA is belping buiId 50 more motor- i zed canoes whicb the fishermen will buy. Reports from Santa Cruz indicate that the fishermen have started to rebuilId tbeir industry, theirbhomes, their 1lives. They'Ire even planning ýa fishing co-oper- ative. They've been-given their start - and theytre well1 on the way to finishing the job of reconstruction tbemselves. And what of the family in East Afr- ica? $1 25-a-yearincome On an income of $125 annual ly, with nobospital insurance and only one doc- tor for every 708, 000 peop le, you have n ot m u ch h o pe of obtaining adequate medical service. The gap is being filled by the East Africa Flying Doctor Ser- vice, one of the most exciting projects being funded by OXFAM. Dr. Michael Wood, bead of the East Africa Flying Doctor Service, has flown 5 0 0,000 mi les, performed 10, 000 sur- gical operations and accepted hundreds of"lhousecalls"l from bushland outposts 250 mi les or more from bis base in Nairobi ... ail this in ten years.
