From Fiona Leggat, London, UK. (Letters).

Last year I returned to Sherkole Refugee Camp, Ethiopia, where I had previously worked as a volunteer. I was surprised to hear people there discussing stories that seemed familiar. Then I realized that the stories were taken from For A Change articles that they had read.

Thanks to a generous donation, I had arranged for FAC to be sent to the school library for the last two years. It is the only magazine received in the camp and, together with the BBC World Service, is one of the main sources of news from the outside world. My refugee friends told me that they love reading the stories which they find inspiring and encouraging in a situation where there is little to give them hope.

On my return to Addis I met the previous UNHCR head of the camp who complained that since leaving Sherkole he was missing FAC. But like so many from countries with a poor foreign exchange rate, he cannot afford a subscription. So it looks as if I'll be looking to find another generous donor!

And to all the Sudanese refugees in Sherkole who are reading this, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
