Sowa Students starve to — battle killer diseases _ The familiar, figurative ex- pression ‘starving students’ takes on a literal meaning next week when nearly 200 Caledonia and Skeena students embark on a 30 hour famine to raise money for the World Vision relief organization. Although the ‘starvathon will follow much the same format as last year’s inaugral event, co-ordinator Lara Taylor said the money will not be used to support a specific third world develop- ment project this time. ‘ee cg Instead, it will be used to ara Ta support the Child Survival Lara Taylor Program, a joint UNICEF/World Vision project. Taylor ex- plained the program’s goal was to substantially reduce the in- fant mortality rate in Commonwealth countries by 1994 “which means immunizing as many children as they possibly can, ” Pointing out a child dies every four seconds in a Com- monwealth country, she said six ‘‘killer diseases’” were largely responsible for that harrowing statistic —- diptheria, measles, polio, tetanus, tuberculosis and whooping cough,’’ Taylor confirmed 185 students had signed up for the 30 Hour Famine so far and the number was still climbing. Given that was far more than last year — Caledonia had been the only school to participate then — she was confident the 1989 total of $3,008 would be “doubled easily.” More than a dozen teachers were also expected to take part. After a hearty breakfast, students will begin their fast at 8 a.m, Friday, Feb. 16. At 5 p.m. they gather at Skeena Jr, Secondary where they will remain until the 30 hour mark is reached at 2 p.m. the following day. However, she added, a minimum pledge total of $40 will be required for students to be entitled to stay at the school through the night. Each school will provide juices to keep participants going through their ordeal and there will be videos, board games ; NWCC faces challenge Staff and students at Northwest Community College have given themselves a challenge — to increase their awareness of physically and mentally handicapped People and their lifestyles. One way they intend to do that is by getting first-hand knowledge of the difficulties faced by the disabled. Therefore, on Awareness Day — Tuesday, Feb. 13 — some will spend the day confined to a wheelchair while others will wear blindfolds or ear plugs, There will also be a lunchtime discussion panel featuring guest speakers from the Canadian Federation of Students: Frank Jonasen, commissioner for students with disabilities, and Pam Frache. . The day will end at 4 p.m, with a debriefing session in which participants will review their experiences and determine what they learned and what could be done to improve the quality of campus life at NWCC for those with disabilities, For more information, contact Elizabeth Snyder at 635-6511, local 305.
