"It is my hope that these awards will enhance the image of volunteerism and in- spire others by showing how it enriches the lives of those who give as well as the com- munities that receive." The awards are given in three categories. Individuals demonstrating outstanding volunteer efforts such as special dedication, leadership abilities, innovation or initiative can be nominated by non-profit organiza- tions. A non-profit organization can be nominated for its work in furthering the ideals of volunteerism by a volunteer of the organization or by another non- profit organization.

UNICEF helps bring aid to Africa When you buy UNICEF greeting cards and gifts during the upcoming holiday season, you are helping to ease the agony of millions of Africans suffering in the continu- ing drought. UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, through funding provided in part from the sales of UNICEF products, has addressed its aid to both the immediacy of the emergency and the long-term solu- tions which will be required to break the cy- cle of drought and famine. It is currently estimated that one hundred and fifty million people are severely af- fected by food shortages and are threatened with starvation in eastern Africa. The con- sequences are most disastrous for women and children. UNICEF has taken several steps to help in Africa, accelerating assistance to the most critically affected countries. Long-term development and the promotion of a four - point health plan which reduces infant mor- tality and gives children a healthier start to life, are pivotal for the recovery of this con- tinent. UNICEF has targetted a number of the most seriously affected countries for con- centrated assistance and relief. Foremost amongst them are Ethiopia and the Sudan. In Ethiopia, UNICEF's emergency response has included the provision of health supplies, water and sanitation, sup- plementary food, vital relief items and logistical support. Blankets and shelter in relief camps, and the supply of protein biscuits as emergency food bridges to isolated areas, have particularly aided children in crises. In 1985-86, UNICEF hopes to focus more on rehabilitation and, as far as possible, on keeping people in their own home -sites where they can contribute to their own and their community's recovery. In Sudan, with its own resources seriously depleted by the drought, an influx of one million refugees from neighbouring coun- tries compounds the crisis. Eighty per cent of children in the Red Sea area suffer from malnutrition. Food, immunization against diseases fatal to children in a weakened condition, well -drilling and water catchment opera- tions, and the distribution of oral rehydra- tion salts have taken precedence in UNICEF's efforts in Sudan. Much more is needed. In other severely stricken countries, food, health needs, water supply . projects, agricultural assistance and fuel are needed to restore the people and the land. Refugees fleeing from the encroaching desert and the ravages of political and military strife need these services which will help them rebuild their lives and maintain their owri livelihood. While the need is great, the potential for recovery and rehabilitation the, the Sahel region of Africa is there. It need not, and cannot be abandoned to hopelessness. You can help UNICEF in Africa by sen- ding UNICEF cards and gifts this holiday season.
