She added a fourth goal - going overseas and helping people - during her teenage years after hearing a mis- sionary speak of the satisfac- tion that comes from serving others. The adventurobs young woman has now combined all her goals into one package. She is spending a few weeks with parents William and Els Rooseboom at RR 3 Zurich before leaving for a two-week preorientation CUSO course in Ottawa on August 15, then on to Ghana to teach French as a secondary language in a government high school for the next two years. Margaret has not left the realization of her dreams to fate. She has planned and worked to turn fantasy into fact. The 26 -year-old graduate of SHDHS 11975) has just completed a four-year stint as a French teacher at Im- manuel Christian School in Lethbridge, Alberta. Two years ago she approached personnel at Lethbridge University to ask if they knew of any countries needing teachers. She was advised to contact CUSO (Canadian University Students Overseas). A slide presentation con- vinced Margaret. She agreed with the organization's pur- poses, and was very impress- ed with the way they ac- climatize and support the peo- ple working under their auspices. Volunteers are paid by the host country, but prepared mentally and physically beforehand by CUSO. Margaret is heading for Ghana with no false expecta- tions. She has been warned by experienced CUSO members of expect a difficult initial six months because of the dif- ferences in water, climate,. food, 'culture and diseases. Margaret has already received nine shots, including inoculation against yellow fever. CUSO supplies its volunteers with an excellent first-aid package containing many antidotes, and Margaret will learn in Ottawa what to do at the first sign of the almost inevitable malaria. "I expect to have my dysen- tery right away", Margaret said off -handedly. Margaret will arrive iu the Ghanaian capital of Accra on August 27, direct from two days in Amsterdam. The en- tire CUSO contingent will be given a five-day orientation 'education. course before five-dal persing to their various postings. Margaret is the only one stay- ing in Ghana. Margaret is a pragmatist. She will head to Ofori Panin Secondary School in the rain forest 50 miles south of Accra with no illusions. She expects to be lonely. She will be one of two expatriates on a staff of 37. Margaret has been warn- ed that teaching in not one of the most prestigious of profes- sions in Ghana. She has also been told tq expect much absenteeism, as family events in the matriarchal society of the former Gold Coast take precedence over Hensall and district news Mrs. Bertha MacGregor, Phone 262-2025 The altruistic young teacher has also been caution- ed that she will likely be much better informed and qualified than her headmaster, but must adhere to what he says. She has been cautioned that she is there to work for the Ghanaian government for two short years, and not to change a system she may think is inefficient. Margaret is heading into her adventure with few illu- sions. In expectation that con- sumer goods she talfes for granted here will be difficult to obtain in her new location, her luggage will contain a variety of soaps for hair, body and laundry, a year's supply of contact lens fluid, and her "blaster" and tapes of everything from classic piano to top 40. Margaret will live on the school compound, and will likely have her own garden. She plans to learn some of the native Twi dialect so she can barter at the open air food market nearby. "You have to barter. If you pay the asking price you're considered a fool", she explained. Margaret is already looking forward to the big Christmas party traditiondi with CUSO, when she will sheet nurses, missionaries and other volunteers in the area. At present, Margaret has no plans beyond the comple- Margaret Reese eons tion of her two-year term in 1986. She does want to do more travelling. She has already been to Europe twice, and Africa is a whole new con- tinent to be explored.
