World Food Day

Today is World Food Day.

It's Blog Action Day 2011 and we're all here for the main course, that is, the discourse on food. It may come as no surprise that nutrition, poverty, and international development are all intricately linked, and many poignant words will be written on this very topic today. You'll probably read about gender and food distribution: when sustenance is scarce, girls are the last to receive their share. What may shock you is that beyond the unfair rations women are alotted in countries like Nepal and Malawi, the life of a girl is a measured commodity.

Water and sanitation, practical pioneers - via the internet

Submitted by Pamela McLean on 16 October, 2010 - 15:17

October 15th is blog action day and the topic is water.

What could I say about water?  I live in the UK. I have normal hot and cold running water. I haven't even got a power shower, dishwasher or fancy garden water feature - just simple household running water - nothing remarkable - just ordinary water - drinking water. What is there to say?

Ordinary? Drinking water? Running water? Drinking water running to my house? That's ordinary? The running drinking water that I have... that is normal?
