I was scheduled to go over in November with the UN as part of their camp construction, but it has been continuosly put off time and again. Did you see any progress with the peacekeeper deployment? Thanks for all you are doing. Dear Nicky,

I am one of many Darfurians living in the US who can not account for family members, relatives and fellow villagers. our hopes are kept alive by the efforts of those whole-heartedly engaged,like yourself, while waiting for the World to act. As you continue to witness for yourself, even minor things that many take for granted, such as a cup of coffee, can bring a broad smile to others in desperate need. Take great pride in what you and IRC continue to do for the sake of humanity world-wide. Good bless Dear Nicky

We gave money to Sun Catchers, a group that collects funds to get solar ovens for the people in the camps. Did you receive any of these? Also, have you seen the benefit of plumpynut, the recently developed nutritional food for the starving. It really works. I spent time in Africa years ago. I found the same. I found the people to be much happier than the people I knew in the US. I realized that happiness is not gained through riches and wealth. It is gained by being part of a community of people who care for one another.

Thank you for this image - and the bright side of this horrible story. It gives me hope and warms my heart in this cold winter. Thank you for the work you do.
