World
Youth in
Terrace

TERRACE WILL be the class-
room for 14 World Youth stu-
dents over the next three months.

The group, comprised of seven
Canadian and seven Indian stu-
dents, will live and work in Ter-
race until they leave for India Oc-
tober 11.

In pairs made up of one Cana-
dian and one Indian students, the
students choose a worksite to
volunteer for to. get first-hand
knowledge of the culture.

“We use the community as a
resource rather than just going to
the library to find out about the
culture,’ said John Frederickson,
the Canadian group leader. ,

“*It’s all meant to give the kids
a chance to see something other
than what they’ve known all their
lives,’ said ‘the Indian group
leader, Varindar Sharma,

Each pair of students lives with
a host family for their three
month stay, said Frederick, giving
them a chance to learn about
people.

**Tt's an opportunity to travel ‘to
another country and your own
country and not be a tourist,”’
said Jennifer Langman, one of the
Canadian participants from Hep-
worth, Ontario who is-working at
the forest service. ‘You're nol
secing the country only through a
camera lens.’

While the group has only been
in Terrace since July 27, some of
the Indian sludents have already
sccn marked differences between
the Canadian culture and their
own.

‘*People just seem to look at the
short-term here and not think so
much about ihe long-term,’* said
Kumara Guru, an Indian student
from Karnadaka, India working at
Northern Native - Broadcasting.
‘A lot of food gets wasted here

maybe because it doesn’t matter

in the short-term.’’

He also said he finds Canadian
much more relaxed than Indians.

“Everything is less formal and
more casual here,” said Guru
“People are much more. patient
and friendly and I really like
that.”’
