April 2016: Caring
Welcome to our spring edition, which is all about caring. The definition of caring is to display kindness and concern for others, and to look after and provide for others’ needs. Some of us care not only for children, but also for pets and elderly relatives. We have features on all of the above topics. But what about ourselves? Who cares for us parents? Furthermore, to whom do we turn for support when living away from relatives and friends? A feature author explains how she has managed to find new friends, and how they have become more like family, and one of our columnists discusses what happened when she couldn’t fall back on relatives when her whole family was ill.
