Tools needed
Check your tools — look in the
attic, the basement, garage, driv-
ing shed or behind the cobwebs in
the back bin in the granary. Most
of us have an extra hoe, hammer,
rake, pitch fork, or any number of
hand tools that probably don't get
too much exercise. The UCO and
independent Co -Op stores across
Ontario are acting as collection
depots for Global Ed/Med Sup-
plies to collect and distribute
desperately needed hand tools to
African farmers who have been
displaced in recent years by
drought, war, and famine.
During June and July, Co -Op
stores across Ontario will have an
area set aside in their stores for
people in the communities to drop
off usable hand tools.
"We believe this is an excellent
idea," says Dave Dawson,
manager of the Lucknow District
Co -Op. "It gives people in this
area a chance to help others in a
way they can relate to."
Global Ed/Med Supplies
(Canada) Inc. is a charitable
organization which has in the past
three years, collected and
distributed medical equipment and
supplies to developing countries.
Last year, working with school
children in Toronto, they
distributed 40,000 blankets in
Ethiopia and the Sudan.
Among the prominant Cana-
dians involved with Global Ed/M-
ed is the irrepressible cartoonist
Ben Wicks, the Right Honourable
Jeanne Sauve, Governor General
of Canada, and Cardinal Carter,
Archbishop of Toronto.
Several relief agencies will be
assisting with the distribution of
the tools including the Canadian
International Development Agen-
cy, The Christian Relief Agency,
the Eritrean Relief Association,
and the Relief Society of Tigray.
Anyone who would like to make
a cash donation to purchase addi-
tional tools, seeds or oxen (in
Africa) should make cheques
payable to Global Ed -Med Sup-
plies Inc. A tax receipt will be
issued on request.
It is important that the tools be
in good working order; junk is
junk in any country.
So clean out the shed, fix up
those old tools, and help another
farmer feed his family. ❑ MG
