WELCOME TO OUR SPRING NEWSLETTER

There is a proverb that says ‘No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow’. Following a busy and lengthy winter, it is wonderful to see the first signs of the spring, bringing with it the renewal and growth the season promises. This edition of our Newsletter will look back to the challenges and achievements of the last three months, whilst also looking forward to the new opportunities and possibilities brought by the changing seasons.

As always, we are grateful for the prayer, practical and financial support that makes our work possible. Thank you all for your continued encouragement.

Best wishes, the Yada team
