Dear Friends & Partners,

Happy New Year! We missed being with our family and friends in the UK over Christmas. So I(Adam) enjoyed my brief visit to the UK, as did Helen her visit in Oct/Nov.  Thanks to all we met for your hospitality, feedback etc

   Three of the five projects we left running during our year in UK progressed well.

Partners who ran projects had more autonomy, but were expected to give the same level of accountability. We’ve both  travelled much with our projects too, so please excuse the long wait for this news  We hope this update encourages you too. Shalom. Ad/Helen

Family sign language sessions continue

Eight of Aisha’s friend’s (above), including us, recently volunteered to help teach two family sign-language sessions at our deaf friend Aisha’s home for their neighbours/nearby friends/relatives The first  session was attended by 20+children and the second attended by six adults.  The children were excited & enthusiastic to learn. Aisha’s family made the family sign sheet display in the background, refreshments at the second session. Again, helping local partners to fully self-sustain these sessions is our aim.
