The Blue Peter Stampede with John Noakes, Peter Purves , Lesley Judd
Over nine hundred million used postage stamps collected by Blue Peter viewers helped to rehabilitate hundreds of victims of the north-eastern Ethiopian drought and famine.
In this flashback, you can see how oxen, ploughs and seed enabled refugees from Kombolcha Camp to return to their village of Dinser, and how an irrigation scheme in the Danakil Desert was constructed by nomadic Afar tribesmen.
Eighteen months later both schemes still flourish, and experience gained by the relief organisations involved is proving invaluable in dealing with the present crisis in south-eastern Ethiopia.
