Letters
,To CARE
? Released
b Thousands of children—
£*nd their parents—from Po
land to India—from Haiti to
Iran—had enough to eat,
.many for the first time, dur
.ing the past year as the result
of the generosity of Wash
ingtonians who contributed
to CARB’S 1959 “CARE Dollar
Day" campaign.
*< CARE surplus food pack
ages have been distributed to
the neediest people in 15
countries from the $7,000
raised in the one-day cam
paign, last December.
CARE is now planning its
-third, annual “Dollar Day,"
Tor Thursday. Meanwhile
letters of gratitude in the
CARE files testify how much
the food packages are appre
ciated. Many of the letters
were addressed simply to
“People ot Washington—Dol
lar Day.” One had the salu
tation: “Dear Miss People”:
another “Mr. Dollar Day.”
From Berlin
A Berliner wrote, “Dear Mr.
People. Many thanks for the
gift which you sent my fam
ily. Have five children, 2 to
12 years, all have a big appe
tite. Greetings and have a
good crop!”
A letter from CARE’S mis
sion chief in Poland describes
the distribution of 132 food ■
packages in Wysskow, 30
miles from Warsaw, which
was “very badly affected dur
ing the war . . . the popula
tion was reduced from 15,000
to 5,000 families. Many of
the people are in very bad
condition physically because
of the difficulties they went
through at the time.”
- CARE Mission Chief Oden
Meeker in India wrote, “The
support given to Washington
CARE “Dollar Day” made it
; possible for us to distribute
•25 CARE Food Crusade
packages to some- of the
neediest people of India.
These packages have gone
to the Andhra Free Health
Center, Hyderabad. Milk is
distributed in liquid form
•every day to about 2,000
beneficiaries, both children
and adults. They are from
.’families who cannot afford
a full diet and the milk the
; people of Washington have
helped provide is meeting a
teal need.”
‘ Mr. James Moody of the
•CARE Mission in Yugoslav
ia wrote that “132 packages
•Went to poor children in
orphanages and boarding
high schools in the form of
rice and margarine ship
ments which were used to
enrich the daily food ration
of the children in these in
stitutions.”
Case Histories
The CARE mission chief
In Berlin sent a brief case
history of each of the 133
beneficiaries who received
Food Crusade packages.
Many of the recipients
wrote their thanks. One
said, "Your gift was very
valuable to me and made me
very happy. It is wonderful
that there are people in tire
world who are willing to
help their fellow men.”
Another thank-you from
Berlin: “I want to thank you
from the bottom of my heart
for the CARE package I re
ceived last month. It makes
me very happy to know, that
someone, that I have never
met and who is so far away,
has the time to think of me.”
From Ecuador, Chief of the
CARE Mission Don Nagy,
wrote: “There are many un
derprivileged mothers and
children in Ecuador who live
on a near-starvation diet.
Your generous contribution
has provided milk for a
number of these unfortunate
people.”
The CARE representative
in Korea wrote that “132
‘Dollar Day packages’ went
to some 90 former North Ko
rean families with 822 per
sons. This group of refugees
who roamed about the vast
coast of Korea were brought
together by the government
in 1958 and given permission
to reclaim the land facing
the Yellow Sea. In order to
undertake in a short time
this gigantic task, the project
members must be kept work
ing at it, and as the work
earns them no income, food
assistance from outside source
is a must. This is where the
order from the people of
Washington was used.”
