SIR,

May I, through your well-read letters page, extend my thanks to everyone who helped to raise funds for the African Famine Relief at our four 'YOGA Aid' sessions in Bridges Centre, Catbrook Hall and Mackenzie Hall, Brockweir.

Due to the participants' generosity and the support of the three halls, we have collected a wonderful total of £650 so far, which has all now been banked for the Disasters Emergency Committee and there are promises of more to come.

We hope it will make a worthwhile contribution to this appalling humanitarian situation.
