Our student from Burma

Our Burmese student has had some bad news about a close relative, but he knows that other relatives are all right because one could phone him to let him know. However, they haven't heard anything about his wife's family.

Fellow students

I read somewhere that only 7% of the UK post-graduate population is British. In our department, we have Irish, Canadian, German, Dutch, three English women, Chinese, a New Zealander, a South African and a Burmese.

Our Burmese student and his wife have family in Rangoon, and haven't been able to get in touch with them this weekend. We're crossing our fingers that they're all right.
