What Types of Projects will be Funded?

While we understand the need for short-term
emergency relief operations in Africa, we
feel that such work is best fieft To Those
organizations who already have experience
in that area. To stop the famine cycle in
Africa, there is also a need for long-term
durable solutions. I+ is here that the
ACCC International bureau can be most
useful.

In order to focus and consolidate our
efforts, the funds raised in our 1985
campaign will be used to purchase much
needed learning materials, agricultural
equipment, and to provide short-term
training to Ambo Junior College of
Agriculture in Ethiopia.

The Ambo Junior College of Agriculture is
located some 125 kms. South-West of Addis
Ababa. It is one of the oldest institutions
in the country. It was established some

46 years ago. It has remained stagnant
largely due to changes in leadership,
negligence, lack of investment on educa-
tional facilities and lack of access to
supportive and growth-promoting external
resources.

The objectives of Ambo Junior College of
Agriculture are to:

- Train middle level manpower required to
support the nation's agricultural and
rural development.

- Supply practice-oriented secondary school
agriculture teachers and therein contri-
buteto the relevance of secondary school
instruction for life in rural areas.

- Provide an outreach programme to train
farmers and disseminate research results.

- Identify the information, knowledge and
technology needs of farmers in the area
and organize research to meet the
aforementioned set of needs.

We feel that the use of monies raised from
the current fundraising to aid Ambo College
in these areas will complement the larger
project, should it be implemented.

Support from all sectors of the Canadian
community college system - students,
support staff, teachers, administrators -
is reauired to make this findrsisine
arive a success afd fo Neip orean The

famine cycle in Africa.
