Huge thanks to staff at Patent Seekers Ltd (Professional Patent and Design Searches), Newport, for their donation of £350 to Lifestraw. Staff at Patent Seekers Ltd recently completed a sponsored walk at Cwmcarn Forest Drive and decided to donate the money they raised to our charity Your interest and support is very much appreciated.

Lifestraw attending ‘How Green is our Future’ at the Builth Wells Showground, along with members of Rotary Club of Abertillery and Blaina, Brecon and Crickhowell Rotary Clubs. The idea of the event is to help pupils in Powys to experience renewable and sustainable energies. Lifestraw is a portable water filter, which effectively removes all bacteria and parasites that cause common diarrhoeal diseases. Lifestraw requires no electrical power or spare parts and can be carried around for easy access to safe and clean water.

What wonderful images of Lifestraw being used in Uganda Lovely to see those Lifestraws being put to such good use. They were bought and supplied by Brynmawr Rotary Club. The students from Franklin House, Frome College undertook fundraising activities last year to help pay for them. Well done Alun, Rotary and Frome College students! This is a life changer, giving these children access to clean drinking water everywhere.
