Hello and welcome to the May edition of our newsletter.

The weather has become a little cooler, and we are now in the last month of autumn. We have all enjoyed the short working weeks over the last couple of months, the short weeks make it difficult to keep track of the days �� May brings us Mother’s Day, our participants are busy making beautiful mother’s day cards and gifts at our weekly craft group for the special person in their life, I hope all our wonderful mothers have a great day and get very spoiled by their families.

April is a month of celebrations and a holy month of Ramadan - Eid Mubarak! To our friends and family, Saturday 22/4/2023 was the last day of Ramadan. The crescent moon was observed, and the celebration began, sending the best wishes for Eid to you, may Allah grant all your prayers.

Our Yezidis family, celebrated Charshama Sari Sali holiday which takes place on the third Wednesday in April, our families shared their traditions with us, eggs are bolied and colored to represent the next stage of world creation: vegetation growing When Yezidis play the game of haggan and the egg breaks, they are recreating the story of creation where the pearl burst and the material world (sun, earth, stars) came to existence. We are so fortunate here at RAWR Support Services to have such a multicultural team which allows us to experience cultures from all over the world.
