According to Susan E. Blabey, head of the over-all fund-raising effort, the UN Committee this month will kick-off its final effort to reach $100,000 committed two years ago to organize and maintain the girls' schools. The schools were established last March, and $30,000 is needed to complete the project, reported Ms. Blabey.
