548 ংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ ত্রয়োদশ খন্ড Imagine if we could only find 5% of the total U. S. population of over 200 million to "Adopt" one refugee child, mother or father and make the commitment to save just one life. We could launch the greatest rescue operation in human history. "For five bucks you can Disprove the Myth that Americans don't care if Asians live or Die." We do not underestimate the sacrifice this will mean for many families, but we feel that at least 5% of the people will respond to this campaign. Families, church groups, students in colleges and high schools can fast every Wednesday (or any other day) and donate their lunch money for "Wednesday's People" - The people of Bangladesh. This campaign translates the enormous human tragedy (with which most people can sympathize but do not feel they can do much because it is so massive) to the level where an average person can do something. He can identify with one child. The idea of a fast gets the individual involved in a personal way and in the process he can enrich himself by learning something about Bengali culture and life. You can play an important and crucial role in this campaign at the local and national level. The steering committee of the national People-to-People campaign would like to discuss with you the strategy of spreading this idea all across the country and seek your guidance, assistance and co-operation. The enclosed agenda gives you an idea of what ideas you can come up with and what you may find useful for your local community effort. We expect to have literature, slides, movies, posters, Bangladesh Christmas cards, books, etc., available in quantity. But please bring along any materials that you may have Please confirm your attendance no later than Wednesday. December 1st. -E. P.
