Many thanks to Rachel for starting this helpful discussion
I just thought I'd chip in and recommend "Vegan Village". Their website has a links page giving access to several vegan recipe databases:-

A group to build connections between Friends of Amida living in or connected with the Middle East.
Reasons to be vegan:-
There's a good overview of the reasons to be vegan on an American video on YouTube:-

Yes, as Kaspa says, the idea is to make things more interactive and I can imagine this partially taking over from some of our other web presence. Hope you enjoy it.

The adverts mean that we can have the site hosted on the ning servers, rather than hosting them ourselves. We may do this one day, when we have some more resources.
Part of the aim of this group is to put people with similar interests in touch with other, and to encourage more two way conversation between us and members, friends and so on, rather than just one way information sharing.
It won't replace the front page, or the mailing lists but I can see some of the type-pad blogs maybe moving over here.
We'll see how it develops, but we're aiming more for an online community, not just a notice board.
thanks for joining,
take care
Kaspa

- Rather saddened to see the nature of the adverts on the right hand column of this website
Curious to know the aims of this group and how it will develop. Is it intended to replace the original Amida Trust website or the mailing lists ?
