UNICEF Dear Editôr: "The Ontario UNICEF Committee would like to take this op portunity to thank the puiblic for their generous support of the Unýited Nations Children's Fund in 1976. Once again, Ontario- ites have corne through with flying co lors..1h e total revenue raised in Ontario, for our two major programs Hallowe'en and Greeting Cards reached a total of $750,000. In addition we have received general donations totalling, $39,306 for a grand total of $789,306 for 1976. Through the generous support of SO many people during the two campaigns, and through the year, millions of children in countries from Afganistan to Zambia wil be able to look forward to a health- ier, happier and more pro- ductive tùture. Getting down to specifics, we feel the p ublic would like to Know where some of their contributions are g oing and so here are a few examples. 1.- Clean Water? Not as simple as turning on a tap. Only 20 per cent of the population of' Cape Verde have access to helps very clean water. Withoutj clean water, such diseases as gastro-enteritis and other diseases related to poor sanitation run rampant. But withi the help of donations, steel water storage tanks, stand pipes in villages and chiorination plants wil be installed. 2. In Vietnam, over- crowding and inadequate facilities in the sehools.is a great problem. UNICEF Canada is assisting the Vietnamese government in building two new sehools of eight class- Mroms each in the northern delta region, where approximately 30 percent of the Vietnamese population is concent- trated. 3. Nutrition- In Bangladesh, the basic food is grain and the main source of protein is fish. So a 'food for work' pilot programn has been initiated, for the people, providing grain for the landless poor in retuirn for their work on the UNICEF-funded fish farms. The public may be in- terested to know that the Federal governiment pfays a very vital role in match- ing grants -for projects such as the ones listed above. This year the government's contribution to the world-wide UNICEF program, amounted to $6,500,000 an increase of 25 per cent over last year. CA'JiIRE thanJ Dear Editor: One year ago on February 4 a disastrous earthquake in Guatemala killed 22,000 people and left over a million home- less. With your assistance I would like to express on behaîf of CARE Canada our deep and sincere gratitude to alI those generous Canadians whose contributions to CARE for the victims of the earthquake totalled over $400,000. Immediately following the 'quake CARE Canada's Advisory Board had allocated $ 100,000 which enabled the CAR E/ Guatemala staff to pro- vide instant aid and begin emergency food distribu- tion to 300,000 people each day. With the addition of CARE experts from nearby countries, water systems were Also every little bit helps - For example, a purchase of only one box of greeting cards can deliver enough high protein food to feed three children month or malnourished for neariy a enough vaccine !s contributor quickly repaired to 10 prevent a possible epide- foc mic and temporary tha shelters, blankets and 15 medical supplies were st< distributed. hai As the funds came in Gu from concerne d Canadians, CARE/Guatemala was bu able to address itself to te. the longer-term restora- ang tion of more permanent fac facilities. Priority vwas sul given to the construction thi of inexpensive quake- pc, resistant houses to beL buil bythe uvorL themselves. CARE's 1 model was a simple structure with a light- weight zinc roof. The agency also provided tools, support poles, bracing and rafter rods as well as training the people how to build their homes.
