Alan Dein returns with his globe-spanning encounters via the internet with strangers and old acquaintances.

In this edition he continues his conversation with Emma , deputy head teacher in an all- boys secondary school in Arua, Northern Uganda. She reflects on the recent horrific terrorist attacks on a Ugandan school. Tragically, this is nothing new. Mass graves of staff and children are situated right in front of her current school, victims of a rebel attack some years ago.

Father Major, a young Ugandan Catholic missionary, continues his reflections on the challenges of working in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo and describes his takes to the road on his motorbike through rebel-held territories to administer to remote village communities.

Alan first met Daria from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine online over ten years ago. Daria is disabled, and teaches languages online. At the end of last year, Daria's future brother in-law was killed in the war. With his sister's blessing Daria and her partner decided they must get married and help bring her family some joy during this terrible time.

Ahmed is doctor from Sudan. Alan first spoke with Ahmed four years ago, at a time when he was working long hours and waiting for pay cheques that never seemed to come. He left his country two years ago for Saudi Arabia as he became more and more frustrated earning $30 a month. Ahmed is in his late 20s now and more financially secure but wonders where he will go next, as he fears for the people of Sudan at war.
