The other global crisis

By Adam Valvasori - Values Manager

Two videos today to remind us about the other global crisis...

I'm lucky to be born into a country where even if I lose my job I am not going to starve. We are so fortunate, even in the midst of a global recession and we shouldn't forget this. The Body Shop cares about this issue because one of our core values is to Defend Human Rights. And Freedom from hunger is the most basic of human rights.

How much time do you have to spare to learn more about this?

One minute? Cool. Check out "REMEMBER ME" It's emotive and personal. Impacting.




Eleven minutes? Great! Then watch and absorb "SILENT TSUNAMI". It's scientific and comprehensive. Brilliant.




So what can we do about it?

You can make a difference. No matter how small. If you can try supporting an Overseas Aid Agency (eg: World Vision, Save The Children, Care or Oxfam.) Coming up in August is World Vision's 40 Hour Famine. Experience what it's is like to go without for 40 hours (or at least buy the t-shirt).
