President. last October. I spoke on the Senate floor about two fellow Minnesotans. Nana and John Gill. who. after traveling to Central America at their own expense. have dedicated themselves to helping the Nicaraguan refugees they met in the Honduran camps. After considerable effort. the Gills were able to cut through U.N. bureaucratic redtape and visit the refugees in several camps. Nana and John collected letters from the refugees concerning their needs and promised to return with helplast winter they delivered 50.000 pounds of goods and supplies. tailored to refugee families. However. they did not stop there. The Gills continue to solicit contributions and are returning this month with 100.000 pounds of humanitarian aid.
