The PEI Tools for Peace committee is an organization allied with the Canadian Coalition for Aid to Nicaragua who strive to provide needed tools and other items to the more than 240,000 displaced persons of that war-stricken country. :

A dropoff depot for dona- tions will be set up at the Royalty Mall on University Avenue this Saturday and Sunday from 9-5 for persons wishing to donate goods or funds to the campaign.

Last year, the nation wide Tools For Peace campaign collected many needed items for Nicaraguan victims of war and this year, two collection drives, Blankets for Peace and Pencils for Pencil, aim further aid Nigaragua by providing school supplies and blankets for strickerr families.

The war and the U.S. trade embargo have created a tre- mendous_ shortage of basic educational materials in Ni-

caragua. Last year, the Tools for Peace Campaign collected and purchased nearly 50,000 pencils and notebooks to bolster the country’s educa- tional system. The notebooks featured a map of North and Central America _ telling Nicaraguan school children about Canada and the Tools for Peace campaign.

This years project, Blankets for Peace, hopes to provide an equally powerful symbol. of Canadian support for peace and development in Central America. Donations of new pencils and notebooks can be brought to the collection depot at the Royalty Mall.

Most displaced Nicaraguans live in the northern mountain region where evening can be cold. Blankets for Peace seeks to provide good, clean blan- kets for these people.

Donations of money can be made also, and earmarked for a bulk purchase at the end of this year’s drive.
