Reader Comment:

I wanted to quickly highlight this comment left by reader Loretta under a previous post entitled "China's food safety woes now a global concern":

"I have a lead testing kit I used to test my garden soil. After reading your post I decided to test some of my household items just for the heck of it. I started with my glazed ceramics and stoneware, some of which I drink/eat out of daily. The items from Canada, Spain,Ireland, etc., were negative, but when I got to my Made in China mugs--Bingo!--every one tested positive for leachable lead. Kind of scary."

Lead is still considered perhaps the chief preventable hazard to childhood development. An ongoing treatise on how common toxic chemicals threaten children is called "In Harm's Way: Toxic Threats to Child Development Project", written by the Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsility. The rise of ADHD in recent decades is almost certainly linked to chemical poisoning.

Oh, and by the way...the lead industry spent decades stifling legislation and knowledge from reaching the public regarding the dangers of lead to children. A brief history of this conspiracy and malfeasance -- with a plethora of advertising copy to illustrate -- is available on the Cincinnati Children's Hospital website: the History of Lead Industry Advertisements.

Hello, I would like to draw Your attention to a new kind of charity

Surin restaurant, founded by Mrs Damrong Garbutt, one of the world’s top Thai restaurants, has created the Surin Village School Charity.Our mission is to build village schools in the poorest regions of the 80 poorest UNHCR nations – the nations below Thailand.The schools will then be built and then linked to Kent schools via the internet for ongoing community support, curriculum activity and cultural exchange and learning – for both parties!The first 3 schools to be built will be in Thailand (Damrong’s home village near Cambodia), Mali in sub-Saharan Africa with the support of the Timbuktu Cultural Foundation in California, and Bolivia.

The Surin school approach

Surin Village School Charity (Charity Commission registration no: 1116492) aims to build a basic but high-quality village school in a region that would normally struggle to have an adequate school and simply no chance of links to the internet and the wider world.The school will encompass a good quality building, desks, books and computers. As well (given the poor surroundings) we will also seek to provide basic humanitarian assistance with a drinking water well and solar power for electricity and a basic community centre or healthcare facility.
We envisage Kent schools helping to fund ongoing support and improvements on a regular basis, as well as providing general support and “electronic penpals” for teachers and students to learn about their different nations and environments.

Full details are on our websitse www.surinrestaurant.co.uk and www.surinschoolcharity.org
