I - Student to aid Nicaragua plight By LAURA ANDERSON When UNC-CH graduate student Nancy Picado telephoned her sister in Managua, Nicaragua, last Sunday, she realized it was time to help the refugees caught in the civil war going on there. The Carolina Committee on Nicaragua, which Picado helped form several months ago to educate the Chapel Hill community on the plight of Nicaragua, decided to tem porarily abandon its educational goals and instead try to raise funds to send food and medical supplies to Managua, Picado said. The group is raising and channeling funds through the International Red Cross and a group called the Humanitarian Aid for Nicaraguan Democracy, which is based in Washington, D.C. Picado's sister, Janet, a Red Cross volunteer in Managua, described the health crisis in the city during last Sunday's phone call. "There is no electricity and no running water," Picado said. "Janet told us not to send food that had to be cooked and we can't even send powdered milk for the babies because there's no water. The streets smell terrible. Dead bodies are decomposing. "My sister has pointed but that even after the fighting actually ends, there will still be a need for relief. Apart from politics, apart from fighting, they'll need food and help." v The committe plans to start a street cam paign in Chapel Hill and will operate a booth at the People's Fair Saturday, Picado said. Picado said anyone who wishes to send aid or get more information should contact the Carolina Committee on Nicaragua at 307 Hillsborough St., Chapel Hill, or should write to H.A.N.D. at 1322 18th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20036.
