Good morning, Farchana!

It is Sunday and the market at the Farchana refugee camp in eastern Chad is half empty. Mahamet Arum, a Sudanese refugee from the town of Diiba in western Darfur, is setting out his wares. Home-made perfumes, hair clips and skin creams crowd his little stall. Arum has spent the past year living in the Farchana camp. Like most of the other refugees living in the camp, he is waiting for the situation to improve before he returns.
