Page 10 Teati me fopics — ~ Cansave assists families By JEAN SHARP Child .sponsorship is only one of the projects undertaken by the Canadian Save the Children Fund, K,-R, Marshall of ‘Toronto, nattonal director, says the spon. sorship program accounts for about onesthird of the money raised by Cansave. The rest comes through {ts annual direct mall appeal, Christmas cards, benny beggar tins and gifts, Mr, Marshall says Cansave uses the sponsorship of a child as an opportunity to help a whole family, not only with needed Supplies, but with whatever assis- tance might give them a chance to become self-supporting, they do, Cansave’s is shifted to another family, There are now two types of sponsorship. The first costs$34 a year for family help with the focus on a young child. The second costs $120 a year and is intended to allow an older child who is doing well In school to go on to secondary or vocational schools in countries where such education is not free, dn both cases, the child and foster parents are encovraged to exchange letters and pictures, to make the contact a personal one, Cansave does not establish its own offices in other countries, Mr, Marshall says. It works through the International Union for Child Welfare and through already existing agencies. Mr, Marshall says Cansaye's work falls into three broad cate: gories, - , One is health, welfare and edu- cation, which covers community development, school garden pro» grams, training programs, day care centres, clinics, GINGERBREAD KINDERGARTEN'S president Dawna Binning (right) with vice president Anita | Sponsorship is another, and the third is emergency and disaster relief, He says Cansave clears Rowland plus future kindergarten students Michelle Rowland and Gordon Dinning.
