The accounts re -affirmed my
faith in the need for programs
such as the Ontario Department
of Education's PROJECT
SCHOOL—TO—SCHOOL. As
Co-ordinator of this program
since its inception in January
1968, it has given me great
satisfaction to see it establish a
growing bond of friendship and
understanding between our
people and -those of the
developing countries of the
Commonwealth Caribbean.
Through the exchange of
letters and personal mementoes
and classroom projects reflecting
their day-to-day life and their
cultural heritage, over 300,000
students from many ethnic
backgrounds, share their lives
and express very positive views
regarding their 'aspirations for
world' peace, understanding and
mutual respect.
In a 'recent speech on
International Education Year,
Hon. W. S. Stevens, Minister of
Education and Health for
Dominica, W. I.; said that
• Project School -to -School is
bringing about closer human
understanding between the two
peoples. He called on the United
Nations to adopt the program as
a means of establishing useful
friendships throughout. the
entire world, regardless of color,
