I had a friend called Koumbata Dieudonne. We lost touch a long time ago.

Not because we wanted to but because the postal service where he lived and was a headmaster was extremely inefficient and corrupt, a pair of shoes I sent him never arrived.

He lived in Bangassou which is the second city in the Central African Republic and I am so afraid for him if he is still alive.

Any of those children I have seen injured on the news could be his grandchildren.

I hope he's safe too <3

Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

I hope all is well with your friend and his family.

I can understand your concern. When I was in secondary school I had a Nigerian penfriend. We wrote often and he told me of his friends and hopes for when he'd finished his studies. Then came alot of serious trouble in Nigeria and I never heard from him again.
I haven't forgotten Isaac and often wonder if he's OK.

It's always a shame to lose touch with a friend but to have such turmoil and fear in the area they live is worse as you fear for their safety. I do hope both your friends and their families are safe and well and coping with all life has thrown at them in their country.
