Project is a young UK based charity that

creates access to quality education through

school design, teacher training, psychosocial

support and classroom supplies in

developing, disaster and conflict affected

countries. We highlight these activities and

projects to UK schools through our Refugee

Education Experience.

Recent news:

In March 2015, 3 of our volunteers spent 2

weeks in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Northern

Kenya home to over 189,000 refugees from

22 countries. Our volunteers delivered

teacher training and psychosocial support to

the teachers of Hope Primary School- a

school where one teacher, teaches between

150-200 students each.

We’re recruiting volunteers!

We depend on the support of our volunteers to create

and deliver some of our essential services. We are

currently looking for volunteers in the following areas:

Fundraising- seeking funders, writing

bids and potentially organising

events

The Loss of Rowanberry

The end of an era came last month

with the last Liz Turner pasty rolling

off the assembly line. We have been

pleased to support the Turner

Enterprise (aka Rowenberry Cakes)for

the past 8 years, selling her pasties,

cakes, mince pies, biscuits, and

chutneys to a grateful public. A

support line is available at the shop for

those suffering from RPW

(Rowenberry Pasty Withdrawal)

symptoms.

However,

Saker Foods,

purveyors of

finest

flapjacks and

sos rolls, have

stepped into

this gap, supplying a wide range of

scrummy pasties for our discerning

punters. And Janine, who has long

been supplying her glorious cakes to

Yaffle Cafe, has agreed to provide our

cake-less clientele with her amazing

and decadent sweet-treats. Happy

days!

Organic Veg This time of year brings us a great deal of those fresh

tasting salad staples - lettuces a-plenty, cucumber,

fantastic UK tomatoes etc. We’ve had a really good

crop of UK new potatoes at a reasonably early time this

year, perhaps due to

milder weather early on.

Looking into the crops of

UK aubergines and

courgettes for the next period, along with

the rhubarbs, chard and khol rabi to be

grown locally too. Oh, and UK onions will

be on the near horizon! This is the time of

plenty!

What’s...............New?

On the Shelves Every few months we see some of our old favourites disappear from our

lives, but endeavour to find great new things to fill that void.

For this quarter, we have brought to you:

• Nakd Nibbles! Fab healthy little nuggets of awesome, from the ever

popular and unbeatable Nakd bar folks, with 7 totally new flavours

to choose from, and perfect lunchbox size to boot.

• Seaweed crispies - excellent snack packs of seaweedy goodness, for

those of us that can’t get enough of the stuff

• Organic bean pastas!! Mung bean fettuccini or a black been

spaghetti, made entirely from bean flour, making them an excellent

source of protein and minerals while lower in carbs, and they keep

their excellent texture. Great feedback so far…

• Incredible bread from the incredible bread company. I know, I

know, sounds like an

oversight, but in fact this is

the best textured stuff

we’ve ever come across in

the gluten free world.

Great and fluffy, and with

a range of excellent kinds

we’re hopeful this will be

a welcome addition to our

gluten free customers

Soil Soil Soil…..

Looking after your soil is very

important in organic gardening.

Without an abundant amount of

micro-organisms in the soil, plants

cannot grow healthily, and you can

improve the health of your soil by

following some of the suggestions

below.

Check out the website of Charles

Dowding, innovative gardener,

author of seven books on caring

for soil and growing vegetables.

He also shares knowledge through

talks, courses and regular

magazine articles which won him

the award of 2014 Garden Media

Guilds ‘Practical Journalist of the

Year’.

The site shows productive ways to

grow food, and with less

weeding, using a lovely way of

caring for soil – undug and with a

light covering of compost on top,

based on his experience of

growing vegetables without tillage

for thirty years. Charles Dowding

runs courses on his Somerset small

holding throughout the Summer.

Chris recommends growing

perennial vegetables, which he has

been doing in the last growing

season. Try some perennial kale,

broccoli, spinach, and Good King

Henry which makes a good

spinach substitute. Perennial

vegetables fit in well with a no dig

system, which is better for the soil.

Another development in good soil

gardening is Paul Gautschis’ ‘Back

to Eden’ style of gardening, which

involves mulching with woodchip.

This method eradicates the need

for watering and digging. It

suppresses weeds and imitates

nature by creating a soft spongy

layer that you would find on a

forest floor. Reclaiming rough land

can be done with thick layers of

newspapers then covered heavily

with woodchip. The plot is not dug

but the woodchip is slowly

incorporated into the soil over

several years. Plants are planted

through the woodchip so that

nitrogen isn’t robbed from the soil

through its decomposition. For

more information on Paul

Gautchi’s methods see:

www.backtoedenfilm.com/how-to-

grow-an-organic-garden

____________________________

Gluten fact or fiction? In the next newsletter, we’ll go

into more detail about food

avoidance and symptoms, but I

just wanted to touch on food

psychology here. Gluten free

demand has risen dramatically in

the last few years - primarily due

to self diagnosis, and this can

leave a diet lacking in the

important nutrients in whole

grains. The brain and the gut are

intrinsically linked, so for many

people, gluten becomes a placebo.

People may attribute a range of

unrelated symptoms to this now

popular buzzword, but actually it

is the expectation of a reaction

creating the reaction itself. Crazy

right? Unless diagnosed a celiac,

gluten is safe for your diet, and

cutting it out needlessly can really

affect your ability to have a fully

balanced diet. In the next issue, I

will go into super detail about this

issue, so that you good folks can

better understand for yourselves

and your

close ones

the effects

that foods

can have on

us

Aqua Faba

We have recently stumbled on this great

magical vegan ingredient which we

would normally throw away when using

a can of beans.

Aqua faba:- (coined by Goose Wohlt) for

the liquid drained off a can (or pot) of

chickpeas, or other legumes. (Loosely,

Latin for water = aqua, bean = faba.) It

can be used as an egg replacer, including

for making meringues, cakes, macaroons,

mayonnaise. No unusual ingredients are

needed and it is slowly stirring up quite a

following.

http://aquafaba.com/ official aqua faba

website, https://www.facebook.com/

groups/VeganMeringue facebook group,

sharing all aqua faba ideas and failures.

http://www.vegancookery.net/p/

aquafaba.html A blog from Goose, who

first stumbled across using bean juice to

make vegan meringues.

We have tried making the meringue

recipe from Goose’s blog:

Ingredients

The liquid from one can of chickpeas

1/2 cup granulated sugar

Method - Whip the liquid until it

forms firm peaks, then very slowly pour

in the sugar while whipping at high

speed. Once it is firm enough to turn the

bowl upside down without losing any,

put 2 inch dollops on parchment paper

and bake at 100C/200F for 1.5 hours.

Then let them cool... You can add a touch

of vanilla or other flavouring; or, even

increase the sugar up to 4x as much for

stiffer meringues! Some people feel more

comfortable adding a pinch of cream of

tartar or vinegar to help form the initial

peaks.

Verdict - We used a Braun

handheld electric mixer. It didn’t form

peaks at first, but adding 2 tsp of vinegar

got round this. We didn’t whisk as firm

as it said, as our mixer got very hot, as it

was a lot of whisking! We put our oven

on Gas mark 1. They tasted good, with a

hint of Horlicks in there. We think vanilla

essence may be a good addition.

Look and make for yourself, be part of

the revolution!

Faba Experimenters!)

Sunday afternoon. If you need to stay Sunday

night because of travel issues, please let us know

in advance-cheers.

camping space. Let us know whether you will be

bringing your own tent or whether you will need

to borrow one for the weekend.

I Want Your Finery!

by Sound Bites Casual Worker Nat

Hello everyone. I'm going to keep it

relatively short and sweet this time! I

recently found out about a non-profit

organisation based in Stockport called 'A

Moment In Time'. This organisation

provides formal wear, free of charge, to

disadvantaged young people who might

not otherwise have an outfit to attend

their prom in. The idea is that regardless

of their financial circumstances, every

young person should be able to enjoy a

special evening. The service is done by

referral only, through schools and other

groups that have contact with children.

A Moment In Time are looking for

donations of formal wear suitable for

females and males - prom dresses, suits,

shoes and accessories. I am currently

collecting things together with the aim of

taking a carload of suitable donations up

to them (and probably swinging by The

Globe Inn in Glossop on the way for a

vegan pub lunch!) . The more outfits and

accessories they are given, then the

greater the choice that the young people

have. Can you help? You can bring any

donations to me at Sound Bites on

Wednesdays or Fridays and I'll make

sure they get there safely!
