Government Printing Office. Check the catalog at the government repository library at a local college library. Also check the Dept of HHS for publications. 2. Check with the United Nations. UNICEF and WHO should be printing tons of this stuff..given the budgets they have. 3. Check with Catholic Relief Services or similar agencies. They often have these types of documents. I don't have copies of these materials present but remember looking in the GPO catalog and finding a lot of foreign language materials in this area. I hope they haven't stopped printing them.
