Project Children gives Irish kids a summertime of fun By DAVE KONOPKI Post Correspondent Paul Coulter is just your normal, average, happy-go-lucky 11-year- old boy. ; But until last summer, he had never held a basketball. He had never seen a football. And he had never tasted mayonnaise. And while that may seem alittle unusual to most of us, it's the norm for kids in Paul's neighborhood. You see, Paul is from Northern Ireland. The 11-year old resident of war- torn Belfast had a chance to do those things during a six week visit to the United States last summer, sponsored by a non-profit organization called Project Children. Project Children has been in the Wyoming Valley area for the past 11 years. Families in the United States host children from ages 9- 14 for six weeks in the summer, usually late June until early August. Air and land transportation are provided by the local division of Project Children. Insurance, as well as reimbursement for any necessary and unexpected medical expenses, are also provided.

Candidates (continued from page 1) the school buses, which he says can be controlled by using camcor- ders mounted above the driver's seats. “The use of camcorders is a known deterrent,” he said. “School director Ed Kern also favors using the camcorders, but the district says that they have only been able to find camcorders that don't record audio (sound). I know where they can get video cameras that will also record sound.” Two other incumbents, Dr. Martin McMahon and Edward “Red” Jones, both representing Region III, are also up for re- election in April.

Sterling and Machell Avenues, Dallas x #4 i» Project Children is accepting applications for this summer and, according to area coordinator Charlie Boyle, there have been many Back Mountain families who have participated. “We've had a couple of host families at Harvey's Lake,” said Boyle, who said the children come from the six counties of Northern Ireland. “We've also had some in Orange and last year, one of the workers at the prison hosted a child. We're looking for families with children in the same general age bracket as the child from Northern Ireland.” The process of being accepted as a host family, according to Boyle, is rather simple. “We have the interested families fill out the application,” Boyle explained. “Then they are interviewed by a committee of 10 people. A team of three or four people will visit the home and bring back a report. Most of the families who apply are accepted.” The visit can be a learning experience, not only for the fc reign child, but also for their American hosts. “It was a wonderful experience,” said Peggy Burke, who, along with her husband Thomas and five children were host to Coulter. “The Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 10, 1993 3 FUN TIME - For children in Northern Ireland, a carefree trip to MacDonald's is only a dream. This group enjoyed an outing during _ last summer's visit to this area. kids learned a lot. It was like having a cousin come to visit. We got to know Paul and his family very well. The time can be a much-needed break from the pressures of being a child in Northern Ireland, a place where soldiers roam the streets and the unemployment rate hovers around 60 percent. “The majority of the kids who come here are from Belfast,” explained Burke, who has five children aged two through 10. “Many of them come over with little or no money but they don’t want you to feel sorry for them.” While he was in the United States, Coulter attended soccer camp, played in a basketball game, ate pizza, went to McDonald's and, yes, tasted mayonnaise. “We had a great time,” said Burke, a resident of West Pittston. “We've kept in touch with Paul and his family. When our two daughters (ages four and six) are about the age of 11, we hope to bring a little girl over to visit. I'd recommend it to anyone.” 3 Applications may be obtained from Boyle by calling 655-0158 or area chairperson Vieve Zaroda at 474-6271.
