Israelis and Palestinians gather for iftar
It’s not every day that Israelis living in the West Bank are hosted by Palestinians to an iftar, the traditional fast-breaking meal during Ramadan. Between language barriers and checkpoints, there’s little opportunity for casual interaction among the neighboring populations. Fortunately, a growing community of businesspeople has developed a formula that builds networks, fosters relationships and signals how incremental progress can lead the way to monumental achievements.

An integral village shop has finally reopened more than four months after it was wrecked by flash floods.
Like dozens of other communities across the area, Kenninghall, south of Attleborough, was hit hard by flooding just before Christmas last year.
Kenninghall Stores was left destroyed by flooding over the Christmas period.

Thousands of snowdrop bulbs are being planted across the Huntingdon area as part of the town’s entry in the Royal Horticultural Society community awards.
Members of Hartford Conservation group are backing a Huntingdon Town Council initiative by planting some of the bulbs in an area off Church Lane in the village.
Mike Humphrey, chairman of the group, said they had planted up to 1,000 bulbs after being offered them by the council.
“Hartford is already attractive and we want to make it even more attractive,” Mike said. “We were able to put together a team of volunteers who were prepared to do what they could to improve the area.”
