Children and young people need love and stability. Are we doing all we can to uphold and sustain parents and others who carry the responsibility for providing this care?

Eco suggestion of the month
The Dark Side of Sunscreens. Their SPF ratings are unreliable – only 8% actually perform as labeled, and many do not block UVA radiation – the most damaging kind. They reduce the body’s production of vitamin D. They may contain one or more of the following dangerous ingredients:
- Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) – increases risk of skin cancer in the presence of sunlight.
- Oxybenzone – a hormone disruptor, used alone cannot be considered a reliable strategy for reducing the risk of skin cancer.
