In her letter of appeal, Nielsen states: "The people of Rwanda have sufâ€" fered through unspeakable horror. Families have been torn apart by slaughâ€" ter, illness and hunger. Our government has given 40 cents per Canadian to aid the Rwandan people in one of the worst human catastrophes of our time. Nielsen considers the Rwandan situâ€" ation to be so far removed from "all the good things we enjoy here, such as the Oakville Jazz Festival and the Oakville Waterfront Festival, that we can‘t comâ€" prehend what‘s happening over there. We have so much, we are so safe by comparison. "I believe we can give a little someâ€" thing to support and help these people who are suffering. The aid workers are doing everything they can." "I‘m giving the money to the Red Cross because they are the only agency I know of which is treating all victims of this war with impartiality, and they are also taking care of the soldiers."
