in Ethiopia
International concern over the Ethiopian
famine crisis appears likely to push dona-
tions to'the Canadian Foodgrains Bank well
over the $3,000,000 mark this fall.
One cargo of wheat already is on its way
to Ethiopia and a second is being organized,
according to the CFB Executive Director
Bert Loewen. At the same time, record
amounts of grain and cash donations are ar-
riving daily for the inter -church agency.
Seven church denominations are partners
in the Foodgrains Bank, which is described
as "a Christian response to hunger". The
CFB last year raised $1.8 million in grain
and cash from donors. Each dollar or bushel
donated is matched three -to -one by CIDA,
the Canadian International Development
Agency.
