NEWS from Ruby Porter MBE. Some of the staff from Sreepur have been helping with the tragic event of the collapsed building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. They have made large banners to place around the area to show the people where to go to collect the dead bodies from a school in the area. The Sreepur Women’s Refuge and Orphanage have also said they will take any mothers and children to Sreepur, and have set up a rehabilitation centre close by. Ruby has been to Scotland recently and attended the EG Regional Day in Dundee, as well as events in Aberdeen.She raised over £2000 for Sreepur during the trip.

“The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still, You’re one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak, a cloud comes over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak, And you’re two months back in the middle of March.” -
Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
Talks and Workshops are held in All Hallows Church Hall, Greenhill Road, Liverpool, L18 6JJ
