Appeal on behalf of the Friends Service Council, by Sir Ralph Richardson.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Sir Ralph Richardson, Friends Service Council, [address removed]
Quakers were at work in the relief of human suffering as long ago as the Napoleonic Wars of 1815, and since then scarcely a decade has passed without some call upon their services from one or other part of the world. Their programme at the moment, which costs £40,000 a year to maintain, includes resettlement work among refugees in Germany and Austria, and a training scheme for Africans who are being resettled in Kenya's new rice-growing villages.
