Poorman said Many of her clients suffer from malnutrition along with anxiety and depression All she can do is encourage them to "just keep go ing." she said Nearly two-thirds of Lane County welfare recipients are women and chil dren, and two-thirds of all food stamp recipients in the county are children and senior citizens. Poorman said Cit izens with incomes below the official poverty level comprise nearly 90 per cent of the food stamp recipients in Lane County Few college students, however, receive welfare benefits, and less than 1 percent receive food stamps Combatting hunger on the local level entails understanding hunger issues and changing lifestyles, said Poorman But citizens cannot fight world hunger merely by changing their lifestyles, Poorman said. A citizen can have a major impact on hunger by working to change food production systems, United States government policies and food distribution methods in other countries, she said Locally, LCCC combats hunger by offering referral services to food oriented social agencies such as FISH, Loaves and Fishes, and Gatherers and Gleaners people's demands is repres sion,” he said The Catholic Church is also a target of repression, Nieto said. Last year, Nieto's parish house was shot at by soldiers Nieto managed to escape and later fled to Honduras Many Salvadorans go north to Honduras to flee the repression, said Nieto, who estimated that there are 40,000 Salvadoran refugees in Honduras The Honduran government, like the Salvadoran govern ment, shows little sympathy for the refugees The majority of the refugees are in campgrounds from which they are not permit ted to leave "The conditions of life for the refugees in Honduras are so terrible that all efforts being made to help them are insuf ficient,” Nieto said “If they’re going to die of re pression in Honduras, they might as well return to El Salvador and die of repression in their own country." Nieto said Americans should put pressure on the U S. government to suspend military and economic aid to the present junta “As the junta gains more and more support from the out side there is more murder, genocide and misery for the people. The junta is like a dead body with artificial life."
