feed poor nations
The Blyth community "Canada
Food Grains" Bank project for
1993 included 11 acres of com and
three acres of barley. Several local
churches, businesses, and
individuals were very involved to
get the project off the ground.
Because of their effort, 1,000
bushels of corn was shipped to
different countries to help those in
need. The barley was sold to help
fund the 1994 crop. All crops, and
finances that are donated are
matched by the Canadian
International Development Agency
at a ratio of four to one. Therefore
the 1993 project equalled 5,000
bushels. This amount would feed
5,000 people for two months.
The grains shipped abroad are
not only given directly to feed the
hungry, but are also used as
payment for work projects. For
every day a person works they
receive 6.5 lbs. of com. With 5,000
bushels donated at 6.5 lbs. per day
per person, this amount would pay
for 43,076 days of work.
The different jobs include
reforestation, terracing, roads,
building of water reservoirs,
watering systems, etc. All work is
done by hand and it not only feeds
these people but is also teaching
method. This plan of action helps
them become self sufficient and
makes it possible to grow their own
crops. One man and his family of
10 can survive on five acres of
land. Working this way with these
people gives them self esteem,
pride, self worth, and eventually
self sufficiency.
For the 1994 project, the
churches involved are Blyth
United, Londesboro United, Blyth
Anglican, Blyth Church of God,
Blyth St. Michael's, and Blyth
Christian Reformed. The project
includes 49 acres'of land, 35 at the
Londesboro com dryers and 14 at
Cropco north of Blyth.
There has been a lot of interest
shown so far and plans have been
set for this year, said local project
co-ordinator Herb Van Amers foort.
The crop will be soybeans which
includes 14 acres of test plots. Land
has been donated once more and
there is lots of volunteer help.
Some reasons why the Canadian
Food Grains Bank is growing is
because of its "hands on"
experience, Mr. VanAmersfoort
says. "You can visualize what you
are doing for those less fortunate in
other countries. The administrative
cost is less than three percent of the
total budget. The project gives the
