I wanted to share the outcomes of my previous email (see below) about emergency funding for a Malawian PhD student, as not only did people respond with some great ideas (listed below too) but someone even went on to fund raise themselves amongst their friends and family and gave an amazing donation of £1,676 to the absolutely delighted student!! It just goes to prove what a great 'resource' Crit-Geog-Forum is, that anyone would respond in this way, so thanks to all who keep it going!!

She works on issues of climate change adaptation, vulnerability and the role of forests. She is also a single mum, amazingly supporting her young daughter as she writes-up, in case that opens up other avenues of funding. If you have any suggestions please reply to me off-list and I will pass them on to the student. Thank you so much! Sam
