HEROES: TIKA RUMI From Desert to Silver Treasure!

Tika
Rumi produce gorgeous fair trade silver jewellery in one of the
poorest areas of Lima. Villa El Salvador was barren desert forty
years ago, and then poor families migrating to the city in
search of a better life began to settle in the desert and make it
their home. Through working together these families fought & won
ownership of their settled lands & in time basic services like
water & electricity. Life is still tough in Villa El Salvador but
the thriving community is resilient and entrepreneurs like Tika Rumi
are creating their own pathways out of poverty.



Tika
Rumi is an association of 10 jewellery makers who produce handmade
rings, pendants & earrings. They are a tightknit community,
sharing their successes & challenges at monthly meetings, and
they have even opened their own shop locally.

You can buy a
lovely selection of rings, pendants & earrings all made by Tika
Rumi at www.llamarama.org/shop/jewellery.html



All
jewellery comes in gift boxes & pouches – the perfect ethical
treat for yourself or someone special.

A Natural Approach to Breastfeeding

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

It was
World Breastfeeding Week from 1st
to 7th
August 2009. Recent information released by the Office of National
Statistics has shown that breastfeeding is finally on the rise
increasing by 7% to 79%1
of all newborns, and with a spate of celebrity mums expecting this
summer, Natracare is encouraging all new mums to try and breastfeed.

Many
breast feeding mothers are using protective nursing pads that are
made from materials derived from the petroleum industry, such as the
plastics; polypropylene, polyethylene and super absorbent gels, which
will taint baby’s milk as residual odour
from the plastics transfer to the nipples and then to the baby’s
mouth during breast feeding.

The
Natracare nursing pads not only make the breastfeeding experience
more comfortable, because they are extra soft and absorbent, but
also, because they are made from totally chlorine free, plastic free,
natural materials, they are biodegradable and compostable, meaning
that your child is not left with a plastic waste legacy as he or she
grows up.

Important
news for mums who are breastfeeding or planning to is that
Natracare’s New Mother Nursing Pads was recently awarded the
accolade of being the “Best Eco-Friendly Breast Pads” by the
independent TIPS organization managed by midwife, Sharon Trotter
(www.tipslimited.com) as well as having been awarded a string of
environmental and ethical awards of excellence including most
recently the Ethical Company Organisation.

Breastfeeding
benefits

  • Breastfeeding
    is linked to more positive parenting

A
recent study of over 1,000 mothers has shown that mothers who
breastfeed their babies have a better bond with the child and boost
their educational development.

  • Lungs
    boosted by breastfeeding

The
sheer physical effort involved in breastfeeding may leave babies with
stronger lungs well into childhood, researchers suggest.

  • Other
    benefits

It
is also widely acknowledged that breastfeeding helps protect your
baby against ear
infections, gastro-intestinal infections, chest infections, urine
infections, childhood diabetes, eczema, obesity and asthma. In
addition it can protect mothers against ovarian cancer, breast cancer
and weak bones later in life as well as helping to shift baby weight.

Over
the last 20 years, Natracare has established a trusted reputation
amongst women seeking an organic and natural, chemical-free choice in
sanitary protection. Natracare offers a range of totally chlorine
free, plastic free, certified organic cotton tampons, organic and
natural sanitary pads and liners, organic cotton intimate wipes and
baby wipes, incontinence pads, nursing and maternity pads. The
Natracare New Mother Nursing Pads sell
at £2.15 for 25 and the Maternity Pads are £2.19 for 10.

Many
hygiene products available to women and babies are made from
materials and chemicals which have a negative impact on both women’s
health and the environment. The
entire Natracare range is made from high quality, natural and organic
ingredients, and are great value for money.

Natracare
is available nationwide in independent health stores, independent
pharmacies, and Waitrose.
