The mailing says the clothing drive for victims of South African apartheid was a real success. A total of 883 pounds of good quality clothing was delivered to Chicago for transshipment to refugee camps in Southern Africa. We are grateful for the widespread support given to this YWCA-Coalition Against Apartheid sponsored undertaking. The mailing says perhaps it would be useful to have more information concerning the reasons why need for material aid for the peoples from Zimbabwe and South Africa has arisen. Michael Mawena of Zimbabwe will be here to speak on the problems facing his country. The mailing is signed by Dawn Manire for the Material Aid Committee of CU Coalition Against Apartheid (Champaign-Urbana Coalition Against Apartheid). The mailing says attached is a sheet listing A) Forms of assistance needed by Southern African refugees B) Possible means of collecting funds and/or materials for refugee assistance and C) general information on how and where such material assistance may be sent.
