I came across this inspiring article about a week ago and wanted to share it with you. A young Canadian volunteer in an African refugee camp pondered long term solutions to the world's problems, being deeply affected by the suffering he experienced there. He started his company 'Lucky Iron Fish' 5 years ago. He developed a cast iron fish boiled in water for 10 minutes a day to give users a low dose of iron. It is good for 5 years. Now 29 years old, he has won humanitarian and social entrepreneur awards. Iron deficiency affects 2 billion people, a third of the world.

That sounds such a great invention. I do hope lots of anemic people get it for help.
That is a great invention and the best thing is it lasts 5 years..
Enjoy your day off. It's incredible that someone came up with a day to make fish last that long to give people the chance to get the iron they desperately need.
Like the 5 year concept. A simple solution if they have power to boil water.
What a nice man! He deserved the award.
Those cake pops L made look great.
And that 92 year old man is very fortunate to have such a caring daughter.
