Rice Pavilion
At Jubilee Library, Brighton, the Rice Pavilion is taking shape.
International artists' group, The Edible Construction Company, are
hoping to raise awareness of food waste by building a replica of
Brighton's most famous building - in rice.
At the end of the exhibition, the 10,000 kilos of vacuum packed rice
will be presented to Feed The Children for distribution in its projects
overseas - providing food for 10,000 children for a month.
You can see the Rice Pavilion for yourself:
Construction: 28 July - 10 August
Completed pavilion: 11 - 18 August
Deconstruction: 20 - 24 August

Aid to Afghanistan
We are delighted that recently, we sent three pallets of aid to the
sensitive Helmand Province of Afghanistan. The conflict in the
region between the Afghan government and Taleban forces has featured on
the news this week.
Afghan winters are bitterly cold, and the local population are in
need of support; but the area is too dangerous to send aid workers into.
We are delighted to be working with HM Royal Marines, who will be
delivering sleeping bags and warm knitted clothing to families in
Helmand Province.
Thanks to our knitting supporters, who have provided children's
jumpers, hats, scarves and mittens, Afghan children will be a little
warmer.
At the same time, the 'Hearts and Minds' initiative of HM Royal
Marines to build relationships with communities in the region will be
assisted.
