We had another session at #UNCWaterandHealth on sanitation worker health. Again, very engaging session, and the break-outs groups got deep into discussion. Clearly, lot of work to be done on this front.

A great chance to watch non league football as Dynamo attempt to get into the FA Trophy 1st round proper...
Also a great gesture from the club to donate to local food banks in a time of huge pressure on low income households
Come down, have a pint, watch a football game. Easy.

Some organisations, politicians & others in positions of power have benefitted from blaming nature for the impacts of #disasters for centuries, to the detriment of those with less power.
It's time that stopped & the real causes of disasters are recognised.
