Help Mitch’s victims

The devastation caused by Hurricane Mitch in Honduras has been horrendous. At this time, it has caused 7,000 deaths and 11,000 people are unaccounted for. The main crops — coffee, bananas and others — have been lost.

It has seriously affected more than half a million people and more than 70 percent of the country is a shambles.

I urge you, if you can, individuals, churches and organizations, to help out this country in its tragedy. One way you can do this, is to send a check or money order to Consulado de Honduras, Emergency Relief Fund account no. 192-03451-9, Washington Mutual Bank, 290 Alhambra Circle, Coral Gables, Fla. 33134. The phone number is 1-800-410-9608. Gregorio J. Fuentes Orono
