A former Terrace Bay woman has had an eye-opening experience in Africa. "Now that I have met Africa's poorest people, I can see the world more realistical- ly," says Brittan Fell, 18, who now lives in New Glasgow, N.S. : "While many lack the basic necessities of life, I could still see the richness of the culture." As two of Canada's top fundraisers in World Vision Canada's 1991 30-hour famine, Brittan and 16-year-old Dana Grant, of Unionville, Ont., gained the opportunity to wit- ness some of the world's suf- fering firsthand. The experi- ence changed both their lives. "I've gained a lot of pride for our country, because of the quality of life we have in Cana- da. But in Africa their strong Dana Brittan, right, sits with a Somalian family she met when she visited Africa recently. faith and pride in their country enables them to survive," says Brittan. Brittan raised $664 -- the most money collected by a Nova Scotia high school stu- dent -- when she took part in the 30-hour famine in February. She joined forces with 100,000 people across Canada who went hungry for 30 hours and raised $1.8 million. The money will be used to improve living conditions for the world's poor, such as the Somalian refugees who Brittan met in a Kenyan camp. "World Vision doesn't just give people food," she said. "It helps them make their own food. I thought it was incredi- ble. World Vision gets in and gets to know people. It gives them ideas and helps them develop. " Brittan and Dana competed in an essay-writing contest with eight other provincial finalists. The grand prize -- two plane tickets -- enabled them to spend 17 days touring opera- tions in Kenya, including a Somalian refugee camp, a Masai development project and a child sponsorship project. Brittan returned to Nova Scotia, and is starting her first year at the Nova Scotia School of Art and Design. fe} W u A! ° ip) ¢ SOS) Y MY UOUICA ILLS re] ° a Make your move.
