Thanks for KAS Snippets ... just wanted to say thanks for the hard work involved in compiling it and the thought that goes into it. I enjoy reading it very much and feel encouraged to see how everyone participates in such a positive way. Hope you are all keeping well ? It's FREEZING cold here in SA at the moment, despite the sunshine. At this altitude the air is thin and the sun is weak and does not provide much warmth. We are working hard to get blankets and other items out to the children as fast as possible as the night time temperatures drop below freezing in some places. The post was a bit slow coming through in May - which you will notice from the (belated) squarelists - but appears to have picked up in June.
Our thanks to you all for keeping up the good work !!!
