Michael learns a few words of Somali with Musa

We’ve received lots of supportive emails from people who saw the article and wanted to let us know how moving they found the piece.

Thanks to Jamie Doward for writing such an insightful and warm article and thanks to Musa and Michael for making the time to chat to him about their friendship.
