However, they face many challenges, including isolation, poor healthcare, and limited resources. Respiratory diseases and malnutrition affect many children, while deforestation and insufficient crops threaten their survival. There is an urgent need for improved healthcare, farming support, and preservation of their culture. and they require help to protect their way of life.

A shoulder bag that heats up food like a portable microwave has been developed.
The Willcook bag uses a patented technology that uses a battery to generate heat from the cloth used to make it.
The Japanese company Willtexwhich is behind it says it can heat food in 20 minutes even on the go.
Uses could be heating up a meal taken to work during lunchtime, warming a baby’s bottle when lout or even for an emergency in a disaster as Japan is prone to earthquakes.
The inside reaches 80°C in five minutes after being powered on, but users can set the temperature between 40°C and 250°C via a smartphone app .
The included battery pack lasts for 8 hours on a full charge and has a small, dedicated pocket on the side of the bag..
In the summer it will keep beer and other drinks cold.
The company claims three 350ml bottles of beer will stay cool for two hours without the battery installed.
OPS: The Willcook bag comes in brown or green

British artist Mister Finch at the launch of his new exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. More than 75 individual soft sculptures showcase Finch?s masterful combination of up-cycled and new materials, from discarded wire, steel and wood, to vintage tapestries, cross stitch samplers, tablecloths, antique silverware and rescued cloth. The self-taught artist has drawn inspiration from British folklore, the historic Bretton Estate and Yorkshire wildlife to create his textile wonders. Finch?s Gothic fairytale centres around the story of The Wish Post, a magical kingdom of woodland animals whose job it is to collect and sort other creatures? wishes, which are breathed into envelopes and posted in toadstool postboxes.
