Donations Help Educate Africans Independence brings tremen- dous responsibilities and each new African state faces the same problems: not enough trained men for important ad- ministrative posts... too few teachers, doctors, specialists. To run their countries efficient- ly, fficiently, to develop, both new and old African states need more trained people for vital jobs. Education takes priority in every African country. But money and resources are litnit- ed. It takes time to build, to find equipment and to train educators. There is a big gap that has to be filled quickly. By providing for the support of African students you can en- able them to take advantage of Canadian educational facilities. Canada is in a unique position to give aid. Our two official languages, English and French, are those most widely used in Africa. A comparatively rich country, Canada is independent and can give aid wherever it is needed without any strings at- tached. You can help personal- ly through your donations to the African Students Foundation, an organization operating un- der a Federal charter, entirely supported by voluntary contri- butions. A voluntary organization, the ASF has its National Head- quarters in Toronto with bran- ches in many parts of Canada. It exists to aid, in all possible ways, the education of Africans from any part of the continent. The program brings qualified students to study at Universities and Colleges across Canada, Bringing students from Africa to Canada costs $500 in trans- portation, and $2, 000 is need- ed by the African Students Foundation to maintain a stu- dent for each year he is in university. Scholarships have been made available through the universities themselves, provincial governtnents, busi- ness firms and church and wel- fare groups. But in hard cash the ASF will still need at least $200, 000 this year to main- tain the students already in Canada and bring in 50 more. A vocal trio" The Riches of Leve", was enjoyed as sung by Mrs. Merril Cantelon and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Scheifele. Mrs. D. Sinclair introduced Mr, and Mrs. Bob Reid, who are out -going missionaries to the land of New Guinea, under The Evangelical Alliance Mis- sion. Mrs. Reid spoke of her call to service and Mr. Reid showed pictures as he told of New Guinea. The first two missionaries went there in 1951 and were martyred a year later. Many of the men wear arm- bands, each one representing the fact that the wearer has been responsible for murdering one person. In their eyes, these are acts of bravery and, in most cases, the man who wears the most arm bands be- comes chief of the village. There is no family life known there. Missionaries in New Guinea, are serviced by numbers of the "Missionary Aviation Fellow- ship." Fifty new missionaries are needed now. Mrs. Watson thanked Mr. and Mrs. Reid and an offering was taken for them. "Tell the Whole Wide World of Jesus" was sung and Rev. D. Sinclair closed the meeting in prayer.
