Percol, the multi-award winning Fairtrade and Organic coffee, is launching a new range of hot drinks where every pack raises money for children in Africa. Percol has created a new initiative, ‘Children in Africa’ which will raise capital through a delicious range of hot drinks sold in UK supermarkets to build schools in remote and poor areas of Africa.

The price of wheat, rice and maize have nearly doubled in the past year - and they are not the only foodstuffs trading at a high price on the international commodity market.
Things have got so bad that aid agencies are having to rethink their programmes.
BBC News looks at why prices are rising and what can be done about it.
What is going on?
Prices are increasing sharply for some of the most basic foodstuffs traded on international commodity markets.
The price of wheat has doubled in less than a year, while other staples such as corn, maize and soya are trading at well above their 1990s averages.
Rice and coffee prices are running at 10-year highs, and in some countries, prices for milk and meat have more than doubled.

Put the best china away - this chap has uncovered the perfect porcelain serving vessel in his toilet themed restaurant - a urinal shaped bowl. Perfect for bulimics and bullshi**ers. We don’t wish to see what dessert comes in however we applaud the continuity of theme.
