This is part of a report by the Chairman of the Charities Commitee of a Club. By Match this year, we shall have raised enough money, we hope, to buy the equipment for the Youth Club. When we have raised the money, we are planning to go back to the Youth Club leaders in order to discover exactly what is needed most. Plans have been made for the Book Sale which will be held on 15th February, This means that many of us will be spending the first two weeks of February collecting books. The event is likely to be held in the Town Hall. If there are problems here, however, we hope that other Club members might come up with some alternative suggestions. As we are proposing to sponsor a student from Africa on a three-month language course in this country, we also intend to hold a Charity Dance in the spring. Such events are apt to be difficult to organize, so all members of the Club are invited to contribute or help in any way they can. The moment I was asked if we could possibly help in some way with the new Club for the Disabled. I said yes. As Chairman, lam bound to say that this is the sort of social work many Club members would like to do, other than simply raising money. We are therefore planning to ask members if they can perhaps help out 'on one Saturday every month (on a rota basis). Finally, by January next year the Club will have been going for twenty years, and the Committee intend to mark this anniversary with some kind of dinner, a dance or a party. We have already been offered (unofficially) the use of the dance all at 'The Forest Hotel'.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was. One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think .my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity. The author ______. a. has been working for OV for a year b. is living in the capital N'Djamena c. was born in a rich family d. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village How did the author feel when he arrived in the village? a. surprised b. impressed c. disappointed d. depressed Which of the following is not true? a. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well. b. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water. c. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes. d. Solar energy was used to heat water. The word 'It' in line 13 refers to ______. a. running water b. the pump c. the pineline d. the supply of water What does the author think about his time with OV? a. It was paid a lot of money. b. It was not worth working. c. It wasted time. d. It provided good experience. . up with some alternative suggestions. As we are proposing to sponsor a student from Africa on a three-month language course in this country, we also intend. organize, so all members of the Club are invited to contribute or help in any way they can.
