Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the questionnaire included with the last hard copy edition of Oasis. Your feedback is very much appreciated and helps us to ensure that we are producing a journal that includes the information that you want to read.

Inside this edition you will find more facts on the countries featured, a step by step guide on building a latrine and information about how to get involved with campaigns in 2005; ideas that were all suggested by you.

And for those of you who wanted to know more about the Millennium Development Goals and details of where we work please look out for special features in the September edition.

While Oasis provides an invaluable way of keeping you, our supporters, informed about our vital work, some of you expressed concern over the cost of its production and the use of resources.

Please be assured that we use recycled paper for the magazine and we try to keep costs to a minimum. Every edition costs just 13p to produce and we are continually looking at ways to keep this cost as low as possible.
