UNITED WAY CELEBRATION

Last Friday the Winslow Campus was visited by some very small and
special members of the community. The purpose of their visit was to say
thankyou to those of the Douglas College staff and faculty who supported
the United Way last year, and to ask for continued and increased support
from everybody in the year to come.

Each one of these tiny tots was handicapped to some degree by Cerebral
Palsy. It is vital that children with C.P. receive intensive treatment
early in life if the effects of their handicap are to be overcome or min-
imized. The funding for these childrens' futures is provided by the United
Way.

On Friday, a good time and many (maybe too many!) cookies were had by
all.

Thanks are also due to all those who cooperated in the organization of
the event. These included, among others, the United Way Head Office who
provided an interesting film, Nel's Enterprises who supplied the event most
generously with refreshments, the Douglas College Student Society which has
been quick to demonstrate support and to the Variety Club which provided
transportation for the children and their mothers. Thanks are also due to
the other agency representatives and individuals who dropped by to show
their concern and support.

Remember - the United Way improves the quality of life for all of us.

WeU.S -€

WUSC/EUMC, World University Service of Canada, is the Canadian Branch
of World University Service, founded in Europe in 1920 to promote student
emergency relief and educational exchanges. WUSCanada was founded at the
University of Toronto in 1939, and incorporated in 1957. Its programs are
supported by the personnel, technical and financial resources of post-second-
ary institutions across the country. WUSC is governed by an Annual General
Assembly, made up of delegates elected from its membership on more than 50
campuses. The Assembly in turn elects a National Committee which is respon-
sible for implementing the policies outlined by the Assembly.

DEVELOPMENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The WUSC summer seminar program provides an opportunity for Canadian
students and faculty to broaden their understanding of development issues
and to gain a greater appreciation of the peoples and cultures of other
nations. Participants carry out field research in the host country and
prepare reports for publication upon their return.

PROJECTS
WUSC is currently involved in a variety of technical assistance projects
in developing countries. These include:
- establishing a Department of Community Health at the University of Sierra
Leone, in cooperation with McMaster University
- recruiting academics and senior administrative personnel for the University
of Botswana and Swaziland, and the National University of Lesotho
