Biafra Relief and Sharp Eville Day
Biafra Relief and Sharp Eville Day
All universities have been asked to hold a Biafra Relief Day and a Sharpeville Day. The matter was raised at the NZUSA National Executive meeting on 1 march.
The President Margaret Bryson, asked Mr Bruce Stainton to organise the day at Victoria and an appeal was in fact held on March 12 and 13. All funds are to be sent to Biafra through UNICEF—the only relief organisation whose credentials are recognised by Federal Nigeria.
All-night vigils are also planned at each university for Sharpeville Day on 21 March. Margaret has asked SRC for a controller but as yet no one has come forward.
