Show detail Hide detail

Program in a television series about ethnic diversity in Canada. This program is about the Adopt-a-Village project to ensure long-term support for needy communities in the Third World. People give generously when there is a crisis, such as a famine, but donations decline when crises seem to pass or are not covered by the news media. The project twins North American cities with poor African villages. Toronto is twinned with the village of Gode in southern Ethiopia. Some footage of the village is shown. Dawn MacDonald, the director of Adopt-a-Village, is interviewed. Included is footage from a news conference by Maurice Strong, the United Nations Emergency Coordinator in Canada, about the need for long-term aid. Darlene Charette, an elementary school teacher in Newmarket, Ontario talks about how her students participated in the program. Some children also talk about it and are shown singing. Walter Msimang of the World University Service talks about the work done by the World University Service to assist the poor in Africa. When asked if his being black helps him to win the trust of the people, he replies that personality and sincerity are more important than skin colour.
