HOW ONE LOCAL COUPLE IS POSITIVELY CHANGING THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS Across the world many charities try to make a difference but often fail to achieve more than a short term impact, leading many to question whether long-term sustainable change is actually achievable. However, at Ripple Africa we know that it is. Founded in 2003 by Buckingham couple Geoff and Liz Furber, Ripple Africa is improving education, healthcare and the environment in Malawi. With only three staff in the UK, the charity employs 150 Malawian staff and works with 8,000 local Malawian volunteers to help local communities find simple, low tech and innovative solutions to the problems they face. We work with them on a long term basis to achieve amazing results. We started with education and healthcare initiatives in the area near our headquarters in Nkhata Bay District. • We run eight pre-schools providing foundation education and a meal for 800 children per day • We support six local primary schools and we’ve built and support a secondary school which now has electricity, a girls’ dormitory and computer laboratory • We run adult literacy classes and a children’s reading club, and have built and fund a community library • We support 120 disabled children and their families • We run a sexual health and family planning initiative However, Ripple Africa’s biggest achievements are in environmental conservation. The ever-increasing population is having a devastating effect on Malawi’s natural resources. Overfishing in Lake Malawi has decimated fish stocks and forests are being cleared to make way for new families. Ripple Africa has been working in partnership with communities in four districts in Malawi to protect their remaining resources. Our achievements include: • Helping over 200 fishing communities protect their fish stocks along about 300km of Lake Malawi’s shoreline • Protecting 340km2 of Malawi’s remaining forests • Helping 43,000 households build fuel efficient cook stoves, each one saving two bundles of wood each week and costing the householders nothing • Planting over 10 million trees including pine, eucalyptus and fruit trees • Introducing new and more nutritious varieties of sweet potato to over 3,000 farmers Geoff said, “All of this has been achieved by working in partnership with local communities to support them in achieving long-term sustainable change for future generations. Nothing would have been possible without our amazing Malawian and UK team.”

Easter Facts 1. Every child in the UK receives an average of 8.8 Easter eggs every year – double their recommended calorie intake for a whole week! 2. The largest ever Easter egg hunt was in Florida, where 9,753 children searched for 501,000 eggs. 3. With all those eggs and other chocolate treats for family, relatives, loved ones and friends, it should be no surprise that households spend an average of £75 on Easter each year. 4. The world’s most popular eggshaped chocolate is Cadbury’s Creme Egg. Workers at Cadbury in Birmingham produce 1.5 million of these every day. 5. The White House hosts an Easter Egg Roll on the front lawn each year. This tradition was started by President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1878.

Sow thinly in drills 1.25cm (1/2in) deep. Before sowing incorporate some bonemeal at a rate of 2oz per sqm2 to encourage good root development. You will need to thin these to between 5cm and 10cm (2in and 4in) apart depending upon their height; aiming to remove alternate plants at the end of May. In the vegetable garden continue to sow salad crops such as lettuce, spring onions, radish and round carrots. If you are sowing beetroot such as ‘Boltardy’ and ‘Chioggia’, sow thinly 10cm (4in) apart in drills 2cm (¾ in) deep. Sow short rows of lettuce and radish at fortnightly intervals for succession.

There will be the opportunity for the audience to question the authors, meet them in person and get their books signed. Events will be held throughout the town at venues including the Villiers Hotel, the Radcliffe Centre and Buckingham Library. Christopher Woodhead, co-founder of Buckingham Literary Festival, said: ‘This is the fourth Buckingham Literary Festival and we are thrilled to have once again attracted such a high calibre of speakers.

CELEBRATE THE 10TH YEAR OF THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE HOSPICE MIDNIGHT WALK THIS YEAR Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity’s Midnight Walk began in 2010 with 550 ladies walking up to 12 miles and raised £65,000. By 2018 the event had opened up to include men and has become their largest fundraising event. Over the past nine years the walk has raised over £500,000 towards running Florence Nightingale Hospice – providing much needed support to patients and their families across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Bedfordshire This year, they are inviting everyone to join them for the 10th anniversary of the walk on Saturday 22nd June to celebrate the lives of loved ones and the work that the Hospice does to provide comfort to those in need. “The Midnight Walk is such an inspiring event to take part in and plays a huge role in our fundraising for the Hospice,” explains Lee Lloyd, Head of Fundraising at the charity. “We hope that this 10th Anniversary walk will be a record-breaker with the highest number of walkers ever.” Walkers can choose from the 5 mile or 10 miles circular routes – both starting from Aylesbury College at midnight with entertainment along the way. All walkers will receive a free souvenir Midnight Walk 2019 T-shirt, as well as a medal and complimentary breakfast at the end of the Walk.

Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there’s something you want to forget, he can help. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books and memories are meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of them has his name on it.
About the Author: Bridget Collins trained as an actor at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art after reading English at King’s College, Cambridge. She is the author of seven acclaimed books for young adults and has had two plays produced, one at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. THE BINDING is her first adult novel.

LASER THERAPY AT WINDMILL VETS LASER therapy does not treat conditions by itself, it stimulates the body’s inherent healing mechanisms via a process called photobiomodulation. Through a combination of different wavelengths, power and frequency of laser light, K-LASER is able to achieve improved healing times, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been utilised in human and animal medicine for many decades, however recent technical advances in laser miniaturisation has allowed laser therapy to be used for a wider range of patients.
