migos extend h Iping hand Arriving at dusk, physically drained from hours of inoculating, he settles down and begins to prepare records. The most primitive living conditions, language difficulty and hours of hard work have all been part of the experience. He was a volunteer, giving four weeks of his summer to participate in Amigos de las Americas. The principal purpose of Amigos was to gain an experience of helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves, said junior Bill Booth. The Amigo lived and worked among the people in Central and South America giving inoculation and rendering paramedical services. Amigos developed from a simple church project in 1965 and is now an international, nonprofit organization sending hundreds of volunteers each summer. Last year, Amigos gave 461,591 inoculations. Their training began last january with intensive learning in the fields of Spanish- Latin culture, first aid, human relations, medical techniques and inoculation procedures. Speakers and films accompanied the bi-weekly meetings. The 50 students in the Houston chapter were trained by teachers and private citizens. You can never get enough training because everybody has a different experience, said Marianne Mayer. A Bike-athon was held at Bear Creek in March to raise money for their Medical Aid fund.-Many camp-outs were held throughout the year for both a learning and an eudcational experience. As well as helping other people, the Amigos de las Americas program gave students something they could not learn in school. During the course of the training, I see Amigos mature as they gain the responsibility which enables them to help other people, said Training Director Pat Dial. This past summer, the countries that were visited were Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia. Amigos were the students who cared enough about other people to give of their time and of themselves. One Amigo commented, I knew it was worth the effort when a native girl tried to correct a small boy who was begging us for presents. She told him, 'They are giving you life, what more do you want?'
