Children of the revolution

Article on the front page of the Standard of Tanzania 1/6/1971 reads: Blowing bubbles distracts these children from the war poster behind them. It shows a freedom fighter ready for armed struggle to liberate his country - South Africa, namibia, Rhodesia, Mozambique and Angola. The Children, far from these areas are in Dar-es-Salaam to mark International Children's day. They will soon forget bubbles and take to arms to continue the struggle in their respective countries. The Dar-es-Salaam based MPLA office appeals to "all friends of our people to demonstrate their active solidarity by making a donations such as tinned foods, clothing, shoes, woollens, money, milk, babies bottles, medecines and so forth.  "All such donations should be taken to our Office (Independence Avenue / Mkwepu Street, near the Cosy cafe, dad-es-Salaam) throughout June so that they can be sent on to the children of the liberated areas of Angola."
