Radiation in your home 2
7 years ago, radio frequency electromagnetic radiation was classified as a possible link to a type of brain cancer, by World Health Organisation, but more data is still needed to support this finding. Question is, if the data is there and we have just not been informed, like when Asbestos and tobacco facts were revealed decades after the findings were made on those.
Alaka is not prepared to wait for the proof, and has thus taken action herself, to create a safe environment without radiation in her own home. Orgayana had a chat with her about why, what and what now?
--apologies for poor sound quality, to help you get all the details, we have subtitled this video--

Max Chua will not wait for the proof and is now specialising in safer use of wireless gadgets and provides solutions for companies & families. Orgayana went with Max Chua on site to see what he does and experience first hand how you know whether your house is subject to radiation.

Since the birth of Ten Feet Tall, Founders Sam Shorten and Nicola Bradell have asked customers to bring back their old shoes when buying new ones, and the ‘shoe-ladies’ have collected an impressive 2000 pairs so far. The shoes are hand-delivered to children in need in Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia and India and through a new partnership with US non-profit “Soles 4 Souls”, Ten Feet Tall now collect any type of footwear.
“Millions of shoes lay idle in the back of people’s cupboards,” says Sam Shorten. “One person’s unwanted shoes can have a powerful impact in preventing disease, driving micro-enterprise and reducing landfill. To know the positive effect we can have around the world by simply collecting and donating what is otherwise destined for the rubbish bin is a really great feeling.”
Now, if you (or your cupboard) is desperate to offload some shoes, this is the month to do it. In the next 5 weeks, Ten Feet Tall are hosting 17 “Kick Off Your Shoes” events with schools and clubs, and when donating, your child even gets to place a handwritten note for the new owner of their shoes and the footwear will be cleaned and polished for new use.
Check out the 2019 locations here:
Nexus International School – 6-14 June
Singapore American School – 7 June
Founders Day at Dulwich College – 8 June
Hollandse Club – 8-9 June
Singapore American International School – 11-13 June
The British Club – 15 June
Australian International School – 20 June
UWCSEA Dover – 21 June
UWCSEA Tampines – 20-21 June
The Yard Jurong – 22-23 June
The Yard Dempsey – 22-23 June
Centaurs – 22 June
Dover Court International School – 26-27 June
Dulwich College Singapore – 28 June
Tanglin Trust School – 1-5 July
And how do you then help?
Reduce disease by covering the soles of the feet and preventing parasitic infection
Provide shoes for micro-enterprises to sell at roadside shops or market stalls to create a sustainable income
Help families rebuild their lives in the wake of natural disasters such as food, fire or earthquakes
Reduce landfill and help protect the environment
If you would like to drop shoes into the Holland Village fitting studio, please email [email protected].
