Thanks to Ros Normandale’s sterling fundraising we have enough funds to host once more two students from the Friends School in Ramallah at this year’s Shindig.

The student counsellor there is really up-beat about this project and I know it does make for some friendships and connections between our young people.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed and a big thank you again to Ros.
