Students’ Plan For Ricefield
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 16. Thirty-five New Zealand university students left Auckland today to establish a rice plantation for destitute Fijian families on the outskirts of Suva. The students, paying their own return fares and working without pay, will spend four weeks on the Operation 21 work camp co-operating with the J. P. Bayly clinic in Suva.
Seventy-seven families in the impoverished area will benefit from the scheme—the first overseas project undertaken by Operation 21 which is New Zealand’s part in a world-wide mobilisation of youth against hunger.
