This walk is for everybody!
The Sunset Walk is a short stroll with a big heart. It’s your chance to take part in the season of Ramadan and to make new friends as you walk and talk .
The forthcoming month of Ramadan is a time for fasting, reflection, doing good things, and for spending time with family and friends. Throughout the month of Ramadan Muslims do not eat or drink during the hours of daylight. This time of fasting reminds Muslims, among other things, that not everyone in the world has enough to eat. As well as fasting, people make charitable donations which will pay for food for poor communities around the world.
The Sunset Walk is sociable and laidback and when the sun goes down, you’ll share a fabulously tasty meal at the London Central Mosque.
Perfect for teaching primary geography and citizenship, this book follows the daily lives of six children from Peru, Mauritania, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Tajikistan and California and discovers what water means to them.
Our World of Water explores many popular themes and curriculum links, including: the importance of clean water, how it is supplied, and how it is used in different contexts, and addresses global issues of climate change, pollution and sanitation- encouraging children to think critically about the world around them, and act to make a positive difference.

Oxfam's most important book for a decade
From Poverty to Power is Oxfam's most important book for a decade. It's in-depth look at the causes and effects of poverty and inequality, as well as the possible solutions. Full of up-to-date research, human stories, statistics, and compelling arguments, we think it's the state of the art text about the world we live in, and how we can make it a better place for everyone. For busy teachers and older (14+) pupils, there's also a summary available - The Urgency of Now. Both books are available to buy or to download free of charge.
Adopting a positive and practical approach, Who Will Save Us? teaches children what climate change really means and what we can all do to help resolve it.

Good quality education relies on good quality teachers. Celebrate the importance of teachers around the world with World Teachers’ Day on October 5th. 
Education is essential to helping children make the most of their skills and abilities, allowing them to lead full and happy lives. Education also provides a route out of poverty.
Two million new teachers are still needed to provide children with a decent education – and 15 million will be needed by 2015 to achieve education for all.
This World Teachers’ Day, why not teach about the importance of teachers and education across the world?
