He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

– Psalm 91:1-2

The following is an extract from the message send to all staff at RC by Ms Donna Covey Chief Executive of Refugee Council on 3 Jan 2011

Our colleague Alain Munyangabe suffered a fatal heart attack on 24thDecember. Alain was originally from Rwanda and came to the UK in 2004. In his home country he had been a civil servant with the Ministry of Labour and then later worked for the United Nations Tribunal for Rwanda for three years before coming to Britain.
Alain first starting working with the Refugee Council in 2006 at our Ipswich office as the Network Support Worker for the Voluntary Sector Refugee Network, East of England. He joined BASIS in April 2008 as their Training and Development Support Officer, based in London and has worked with the BASIS team ever since. He played a key role in our highly successful national BASIS conference for RCOs in the June of this year. Alain’s close colleagues are of course particularly shocked by his unexpected death and we will be doing everything we can to support them.
It is not yet clear what or when funeral arrangements will be taking place since understandably much of Alain’s family are not in the UK. I very much appreciate that colleagues will want to express their sympathies and will write further to let you know what can be put in place to do this.

With his passion for his work and for supporting refugees and RCOs, we will miss him greatly.

Best wishes

Donna Covey

Chief Executive
