    A Roman Catholic relief service, CARITAS has given tools, rice and vegetable seeds to the Catholic parish in Barclayville, Grand Kru County, independent Star radio reported on Wednesday. The items will be distributed among members of St. Peter's Parish in the town. Star said CARITAS would later distribute building materials to returnees in the county, and that this would benefit mainly the elderly and widows. Meanwhile, thieves stole at least 400 bags of rice seed, 10,000 assorted agricultural tools and educational supplies at the weekend from the Lutheran World Service central warehouse in Monrovia, Star radio reported the NGO as saying in a statement on Tuesday.
