Brochure used to raise money to help Angolan children and others in need.

The brochure says the program was initiated by the Angolan nationalist leader, Emmanuel Kounzika, in 1964 as the beginning of an effort to educate these children who still hope to return home, and to prepare them to assume responsibilities in a future independent Angola. The brochure says nearly four hundred thousand refugees have been recorded arriving in the Congo since the outbreak of the rebellion against Portuguese colonial rule in Angola in 1961; most were families from burned out or terrorized villages, including many thousands of children. • A School of Hope • Institut Secondaire Angolais • Present Needs • Background • Potential • A Spartan Budget • The Africa Fund
