Dear
Friend,
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to
our recent emergency appeals for Chad and the floods in South Asia.
This month we bring you updates from both Chad and South Asia in the form of blogs.
As well as news on how your money is being spent, the blogs give a valuable
insight into the work of our teams in the field and the lives of those
affected by emergencies such as these.
Thank you
for your support.
Lyndall Stein
Executive Director, Concern Worldwide (UK)

Chad Update |
Chad is a new country of operation
for Concern so there is so much to do. The neighbouring crisis in Darfur,
as well as internal conflict, has forced over 170,000 to flee their villages
in fear of attack. Now the Chadian people, in camps for the displaced, are
facing a desperate winter. To hear more about the challenges faced by the
families in the camps, listen to the podcast of an interview with Andres
Felices, a project manger for Concern in Chad.

Land Rights March in India |
The Janadesh, or 'People's verdict',
march has seen 25,000 participants march 350km to Delhi since October 2
in a bid to shame the government into keeping its promise to redistribute
farmland. The marchers are asking for pieces of land on which they can work
to earn their livelihoods. Click the link to watch the short films that
capture the atmosphere and energy at the demonstration.
