Goderich to raise funds to aid ,the work of ,Ron and Peggy Shaw in the establishment of a Cattle Multiplication Centre near Tahoua, Niger. Mr. Shaw is a former reporter -photographer • with the Signal -Star. In a letter received this week, Susan • McCoy, project officer (Africa), said, "I realize that you will shortly be faced with a decision regarding ;the allocation -"cif the funds which the` people of Goderich have beelr. raising for the "Melepha Well Project". Unfortunately, there is little likelihood that this -project will he implemen- ted, as the" person. whom we had hoped, would undertake to manage the well -cleaning program has decided to leave Niger, Ron and Peggy were then asked by the Niger government to move from Maradi ,to Taboua (150 miles north-west) to. give technical assistance to °the establishment of a Cattle Multiplication Centre. The cen- tre is the first of several plan- ned as part of Niger,s program to reconstitute nomadic cattle herds which •were destroyed during the drought." Ms. McCoy asks that funds, be cgllected instead, for the purpose of 4roviding "Vehicle • Support" to the Shaws' project. The_ work the Shaws are doing is a valuable con- tribution to one of the most im- portant programs to rehabilitate and develop Niger, MNMcCoy said. Realizing that a vehicle is essential to maximize the effectiveness of 'their contribution, the CHF has undertaken to purchase a Volksw,atgen "Jeep" for the project. The vehicle* will he °donated r to an �a.pproprijat.e :' group in Niger when the Shaws.. return to Canada. "I am hoping that the people of Goderich . might accept to contribute in the rnahtier. • of purchasing a vehicle, to development in the Sahel. I realize that aid of this type is not so dra.matic as emergency food relief, ,or as concrete as digging a well, but if'countries in the Sahel are, ever to achieve anything approaching self- sufficiency,. then grass-roots agricultural development is the key," Ms. McCoy pointed out.. Niger, lacking technicians, or the financial resources to pur- chase technical skills or equip- ment (such as vehicles), par- ticularly needs the services of volunteers 'such a5 Ron and Peggy Shaw. ' "I believe 'that by con ▪ trihuting to the Shaws' work in Niger, and through -them to the reconstitution. of the Nomad's livestock, that Godetich .would .be giving a very real and needed assistance to the people of Niger," Ms. McCoy went on. The total cost . of the Volkswagen ;"Jeep", plus in- surance, 'maintenance, repairs, gas and oil for two years, is $10,000. The Shaws were sent to Niger,,in .June 1974. Both have .. a background in farming. Mr. Shaw also received refresher '°ehurses in animal htsbandry., • during his orientation and training period' at the CHF bet- ween April and June, 1974. • From the time of their arrival until October, the Shaws worked at an animal breeding centre, setting up •a selective goat -breeding program, and training a local technician. to take over im- plementation of the program.
