20 Tertace Review — Wednesday, May 18, 1988

Kirsten Mueller —

continued from page 14
ly “‘smartened up’’ and began to
experiment with the food. She
liked dahl and lentils and even
had eggs occasionally.

The audience at the Women’s
Centre was shocked when
Kirsten explained the practise of
Satti — widow burning. Tradi-
tionally, Hindu women were to
be burned alive on the funeral
pire with their dead husbands.
Although it has been outlawed,
it is still occasionally practised in
the more isolated areas, It is
considered one of India's social
problems, as drug and alcohol
abuse and high divorce rates are
considered some of ours.

Dowries are still a part of
marriages. Some husbands take
advantage of the situation and
keep ‘‘upping’’ the dowry even
after the couple is married.
Kirsten clarified that people in
the cities live a more western
lifestyle, while in the villages,
the people’s lives are totally dif-
ferent. Kirsten said, ‘““We learn-
ed by living their life.’”

The group work project in Itki
was the construction of a local
library. This was. a project
already planned by the villagers.
The Canada World Youth par-
ticipants provided extra labor
and enthusiasm. There were no
wheelbarrows, and people car-

trays on their heads. The

Canada World Youth par- —

ticipants never mastered that
skill, so they carried the trays in
their hands. Even the Indian
participants were from cities and
had to adjust to village life and
customs. oo

Senator Jacques Hebert, the
founding father of Canada

-World Youth in Canada,

dedicated the library upon its
completion.

Kirsten’s personal work pro-
ject was to learn the use of a
handloom and to weave a wool
blanket. She has it proudly
displayed in her bedroom in
Prince George.

Kirsten suffered ‘‘total culture
shock’’ leaving the. village and

arriving at the Canadian Em-

bassy in New Delhi. She found it
totally decadent and un-
necessarily pompous. After

three months back in Canada, |

Kirsten is still suffering culture
shock, but she feels the overall
experience was worthwhile.

She said she has broadened
her outlook, is more globally
aware, more analytical of per-
sonal and global concerns, more
involved in the community and
is a stronger, more directed per-
son as a result of this varied and
