Mr. Speaker. When a school was opened up for the refugees to come in. the teachers who taught in that school would work in the school or the center and would help with the problems of the refugees. A nurse in that school became the nurse in that refuge. The principal became the organizer. I think the schools and the administration of the schools and the schoolteachers did a fabulous job in this respect throughout the area. The churches opened their halls and their meeting centers. In the city of Rio Grande the Catholic church itself was opened for the refugees to come in. It was a great thing to see the priests and the nuns and in the other churches to see the preachers and ministers and the lay leaders of the churches working to see that the people were fed and to see that they had a dry place to stay. I must also offer great commendation to the private sector.
