Canadian Créssfoads Interiaeien a! to send 5 Islanders Overseas

Going overseas to a develop- ing country is not as unlikely for UPEI students as you might think-Grant Scott from Char- lottetown, Kelley Laughlin from Summerside and Ian MacDonald of Tracadie will be heading off to some exotic locations in Africa and Asia in May or September

with Canadian Crossroads Inter- national. Also going will be Sharon Carr of Miscouche and Kim Munroe of Montague.

CCI is a Canadian interna- tional development education or- ganization that sends over 200 Canadians every year to Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, South Pa- cific, or South and Central Amer- ica. It is a non- profit organiza- tion with no political or religious affiliation. Placements are of 4- 6 months duration. Since 1958 Crossroaders have been work- ing with local people in develop- ing countries on projects in edu-

cation, community development, health care, construction or agri- culture.

Who is eligible for overseas placement? You should be at least 19 (no upper age limit) and have demonstrated personal adaptability, cultural sensitivity and a committment to promoting international awareness. While not essential, a basic knowledge and skill in a trade or vocation is useful. (Volunteers with an interest ininternational develop- ment who do not wish to go over- seas are also invited to become in- volved in the program.)

Volunteers going overseas re- ceive a small living allowance to meet food, accommodation and basic travel costs (no salary). With the support of the local committee, participants are ex- pected to raise $1,600 each to- wards the cost of their involve- ment.

Grant, Kelley and Ian are raf- fling tickets on 5 cords of hard- wood worth $500, draw on March 1. They also have Crossroads T- shirts for sale. Please support these fund raising efforts. Your contribution will help to build friendship and cooperation be- tween Canadians and peoples of developing countries, making a better world possible.

If you are interested in joining Crossroads, contact Local Coor- dinator Kathy Stuart (566-1717) or talk to Grant, Kelley or Ian. The next regular meeting will be held at the Red Cross Headquar- ters on Prince St. on February 2. Recruitment for 1990 over- seas placements will be held dur- ing September and now is a good time to get involved.
