Terry is tall and slim, Indian in background, a good-looking lad with brown eyes, black hair and light brown skin. He is active and healthy. Since he has just started school, Terry has not had any academic reports but he is a bright, intelligent youngster who has already learned two languages - Cree and English. If he has any problems in school, it will be because life on a reserve has not given him the knowledge of some of the situations a child may meet in classes and texbooks. But since he is alert and inquisitive, new things are more a challenge than a frustration to him. Terry is a friendly. outgoing youngster with an easy-going disposition. He Loves the outdoors in any season. Terry needs loving parents--whn, will offer him stimulation, share his interest in outdoor activities, and value his heritage. To inquire about adopting Terry, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community -and Social Services, Box 888, Station K. Toronto M4P 2H2.
