A MEMORIAL FUND

Inquires have been made about the establishment of a memorial fund in the name of Dr. Eduardo Mondlane.

Suggestions for the purposes of the fund or funds have

included: a fund for the education of the Mondlane children; a fund to assist the work of the Mozambique Institute; and a liberation fund specifically for

FRELIMO in Eduardo's memory. The wishes of Janet Mondlane should be given primary consideration and

word from her is awaited. In the meantime, several

organizations may wish to do something in keeping

with their own programmes. Any questions may be addressed to the American Committee on Africa, 164

Madison Avenue, New York, New York, 10016. Also ACOA

would be glad to accept any earmarked memorial contributions.

How can we tell you the size of our Dream?!

During centuries we waited that a Messiah might free us ...

Until we understood.

Today our Revolution is a great flower to which each day new petals are added.

The petals are the land reconquered, the people freed, the fields cultivated, schools and hospitals.

Our Dream has the size of Freedom.

FRELIMO, 1969
