Caption The Bahá'í International Community has become the third contributor to a $2.7 million emergency appeal for help to Ghana, one of 13 countries selected by UNICEF for special support in the present African emergency. The appeal, in cooperation with the Ghanaian government, drew $296,190 from the United Kingdom as part of a $1.3 million contribution to UNICEF's special support in the Africa crisis. Another $39,250 was contributed by the Japan Committee for UNICEF. The Bahá'í contribution of $5,000 brings the total to $340,440. ‘We chose Ghana because it has a tremendous malnutrition problem,’ said Dr. Victor de Araujo, the Bahá'í International Community’s representative at the United Nations in New York. ‘According to the Bahá'í community in Ghana, the situation is very acute for children, and they asked if we could make a contribution to the UN to help meet the emergency. Since children and mothers are involved, we made the contribution through UNICEF.’ Earlier this year, the Bahá'ís gave $2,500 to UNICEF’s emergency programs in Swaziland. Pictured here are more than 300 housewives from villages in Ghana who gathered for a cooking demonstration under the auspices of the government’s Department of Community Development. The basis of the course is a booklet called ‘Good Food for Good Health,’ containing recipes using recommended local food resources. Practical demonstrations are given by team members headed by a representative of the UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). UNICEF supplies cooking utensils and other equipment for outdoor classrooms. (UNICEF photo by Paul Almasy)
