A NEW LIFE - Geraldo Muchipiha, who was forced from his home
in 1991 by rebet attacks, retumed to Mozambique to start a new life

in the refu camp, "with no 1 nd,
no or, nothing to do but it nd
it for th to end. "
Although RENAMO t
till frequent, th Mucipi decid d
to return t Moz rnbiqu to ttempt
a n w lif. D titut, Y t hopeful,
they wa! ed for three da to rea h
the Mozambique bord r, where th y
were given free pa age on a
crowded train to their homeland.
The Mucipih rrived in the city
of Cuamba, where CARE, th
world' larg t relief and develop­
ment organization, is upporting
relief efforts to provide food to 3.1
million p ople throughout Mozam­
bique. In addition to di tributing
food to th family, who hadn't eaten
in four day , CARE medical staff
examined the family and vaccinated
the childr n.
After pending a week at the
camp, Mucipiha moved hi family to
a safe area, where he plans to build a
home nd prepare the land for plant­
ing. Blankets, clothe • and a
month' ration of food will help them
survive while their crops take root
and grow. CARE taff taught
Mucipiha how to build small dams to
provide water for his garden, which
include lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes,
collard greens, and weet potatoes.
"Even with normal rainfall,"
Henry says, "timing is critical. You
may see green fields, rather than the
dust and dry earth traditionally a -
sociated with a drought, but if th
rains come at the wr ng time, the
rops are rulned."

question . righ of
Klan men to wear hoods
The 1981 ordinance makes it il­
legal for three or more people ap­
pearing in public to wear hoods or
masks that would conceal "sub-
tantial portion" of their faces. The
ordinance was based ona model sug­
gested by the Kentucky Commission
on Human Righ .
"THEY SHOULD have been
made to take their masks off,"
Coleman aid in an interview
Thur day. "The city ordinance
should be adhered to."
But aark Beauchamp, commis­
sioner of the department that over­
sees state property and which is ued
a permit for the demonstration, aid
"the city ordinance doesn't apply"
on the capitol grounds.
Kentucky State Police Capt. John
Lite, who coordinated security at the
event, said state police lawyers ex­
amin d the ordinance and reached
the ame conclusion.
"I was fully intending to enforce
the ordinance until we found out
from legal counsel you can't enforce
a city ordinance on state property,"
Lile said.
IN ADDITION to overseeing
food distribution in Mozambique,
CARE provide seeds, tool and
training to 2,800 Mozambicans in 20
citie throughout the country. Road
rehabilitation project ponsored by
CARE provide local people with
tool to rebuild road that have been
ripped apart by RENAMO.
Although Mucipiha faces a long
truggle to rebuild his home and har­
ve t his crops, he remains optimistic,
I king forward to the day when the
war ends. "When there is peace my
family' and I will have a place to
live."
