Many Biafran students from the New York City area volunteered to maintain contact with the children. thereby reducing cultural adjustment problems. We also appealed to the board of directors of the Schweitzer Fellowship. of which we are a member. The board followed the urgent recommendation of Its thenpresident. Mr. Leslie Paffrath. to finance a relief program for child refugees at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambardn6. Gabon. only a few hundred miles away from Biafra. The advantage of the Schweitzer Hospital In Lambardn6 was that it had accumulated invaluable experience over the years in dealing with childrens diseases native to the area.
