l ore on ACWW conference amilies prove we CAN love anyone ion and special presentation of con- itions around our world we came to : few simple conclusions that we can ll act upon. We must prepare our .oung people for the changing roles f the 805. As mothers it is our duty 0 prove to educators that in agriâ€" ulture, young women need to be ducated in the production of our ood. Likewise our young men need 0 learn the importance of nutrition, he preparation and the preservation f our food. This is the situation all round the world. We still tend to en- ourage girls to keep house and have abies while men or boys are the provider. In these times we find more and more that these roles are changing. A number of examples were brought to our attention where women are now farm managers. Water is a necessary part of life for each human being on this earth. The simplest and easiest way to make it safe is to boil it, wherever you live. In many areas of the warld water is very scarce and needs to be handled with care. Streams are the only source of supply in many places and the old habits of using the streams for toilets and sewers is being diseouraged, but it takes time and technology. In Kenya the lack of fuel has been the reason for a special Green Belt Movement where rural women plant. care for and harvest trees to amsl in their economy. In Transkie the women have a pro- gram where they plant. work and share in community gardens. Women must learn to be excellent managers, to be able to plan and be able to make the right decisions.
