 Eco Corner: ‘A shift to a circular economy is needed to achieve Environment Act targets & commitments in the UK Environmental Improvement Plan. Halving residual waste per person by 2042 & eliminating avoidable waste are clear drivers of the transition.’ (Edited from Wildlife & Countryside Link.) Can each of us help to achieve this?

 Andrea & Mark new: Mark is now on a UK waiting list for his intermittent heart irregularity. Please pray that he won’t have long to wait, & for Abdelkerim, the only doctor now at their hospital. They remain in N’djamena in up to 46-degree heat! Great progress on rebuilding of the hospital, much of it by locals with the skills & BMS funding. 

Kate tells us “Easter went well. Their lesson via felt people & animals, then PUPPET time to tell the Easter story of Jesus in their own language. Each sat really listening, taking much in to think about later. For Easter the meal includes deep fried fish, which we all enjoy!! It was interesting that the girls found bags to take the fish home for their family. But the boys all ate the fish there & then and nothing for others.”
