There will be a concert of music held in Exeter United Church Saturday, The purpose of this concert is to raise funds for relief in Honduras. Having just returned from the areas of Honduras hardest hit by Hurricane Fifi, Rev. Jim Somerville director of Com- passion of Canada, says there is still tremendous needs for relief assistance. Representing Compassion, an international child care organization, he went to assess the need for further emergency relief as well as long term help. Compassion presently caring for more than 30,000 children in over 18 countries is seeking to bring help especially to the children. Destroyed bridges, the con- tinuing rainy season and flooding in some areas hampers the work of the military and volunteers. The fear of epidemics, lack of food, shelter and medicine are causing great hardship. A lot of help has been given but it isn't nearly enough to cope with the crisis. Right now there is a need to raise several thousands of dollars for medicine, food, vitamines, homes, clinics and schools. An offering will be taken during the evening of the concert.For every dollar that is collected, Com- passion will send a dollar to Honduras. Information is available from every church or by contacting Mr. Gerry F. McAuley at 235- 2497.
