IN AUSTRALIA THERE IS A PRISON SYSTEM THAT LOCKS UP TEN YEAR OLD CHILDREN, AND PLACES CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS THIRTEEN IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT; ALLEGED NEWS. [1] Children have been confined to an isolation wing with no sunlight or running water; Alleged News. Some have been held for weeks on end, deprived of basic necessities; Alleged News. [1] Treatment of children behind bars has been revealed, where young offenders have been stripped naked, assaulted and teargassed; Alleged News.

[2] Screams rent the air Lumiere Charity received report and viewed footage. The screams that rent the air, the force on vulnerable young bodies by stronger adults, the hopeless tears wept into a singlet and the stripping naked of children paint a picture of children who are not being given that greatest gift of all; nurturing and safety.

Rights of the Child
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an internationally binding agreement on the rights of Children, Alleged News. [3]
A child is defined in the UN Convention as a person under the age of 18 years. [3]
Treatment of others Jesus Christ told us clearly that our eternal destiny is aligned to our treatment of others. He warns us, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, that you do unto me." In other words, our actions towards each other are done to the Godhead Himself; so closely does God ally Himself to His suffering people. Jesus further warns that those who saw His suffering in His people when sick and in prison, and did not look after Him, will be held accountable. [Matthew Chapter 25] [4] Teargassing, water and crying Children held down after teargassing, water pouring over them with their hands tied behind their backs, crying they can't breathe. Children pacing tiny cells, locked up and pleading for the reason for their incarceration. Children being stripped naked and left crying. Children experiencing physical restraint. Children with their heads placed in hoods. Children not receiving education, kindness, proper care. Children rocking themselves for comfort after being stripped; Alleged News. [1] and [2]
INNOCENT CHICKS ARE THRUST ALIVE THROUGH A GRINDER - BECAUSE THEY ARE MALE; ALLEGED NEWS. Helpless wriggling chicks are debeaked, thrown from side to side as they are checked; Alleged News. Other chicks helplessly lie and die; Alleged News. Lumiere Charity has received reports of the treatment of chicks. In my youth, I grew up near farms and used to spend weekends with my friends, helping them to gather eggs. Free range chickens [why would you want to cage them?] ran up to us when we came to collect eggs. We knew them by name, and Tillie took a special shine to me. She used to follow me around everywhere when I came to visit the smallholding. We used to wait outside until the hens finished laying [we considered they needed the privacy]. Then we kids used to go in and gently remove the eggs, place them in a bucket and bring them to my friends' parents. My friends used sufficient eggs for their dietary needs, and sold the rest at the local market. The rest were left for the moms to brood on, and hatch sweet little baby chicks which we children doted on. The farmers did not make a huge profit, but they certainly made ends meet; and we kids loved visiting the small farm. Cossetted in the Kitchen When chicks were hatched, we were absolutely thrilled. Sometimes if there was an ailing chick, my friend's mom used to keep the little one in her kitchen in a box. She would nurse it, hand feeding and rearing the tiny mite. They usually survived. We used to coo to the chicks, loving their downy yellow feathers and their innocent little faces. Their sweetness and helplessness charmed us, making us eager to help them if they were ill. We were often shooed out of the kitchen, as it was considered the little sick chicks needed peace and quiet, snuggled in their cosily fitted boxes - in order to thrive. Egg Industries Baby Chickens are being ground to death in egg hatcheries; Alleged News. Graphic footage shows this occurrence. Warning; this video is not suitable for children.
Male chicks are reportedly considered useless as they cannot lay eggs. 21 Facts as Apprised by PETA 1. It takes approximately 34 hours for a hen to produce an egg 2. In order to keep up with the demand, more than 300 million hens are used by the US egg industry every year, Alleged News 3. Hens' lives enter a two year cycle of suffering, from the time they are born 4. Chicks are born in large incubators 5. They will never see their mothers 6. Shortly after birth, the males and females are separated 7. The females head to a life in the egg industry - roughly handled, Alleged News 8. The males are either tossed into trash bags to suffocate, Alleged News 9. Or the males are ground up alive, Alleged News. [Warning; footage not suitable for children] 10. The female chicks have their beaks cut off with a hot blade 11. 5 to 11 hens are crammed into tiny wire 'battery' cages 12. The cages are often stacked one on top of one another 13. This allows urine and faeces to fall down onto birds in the lower cages 14. Because of the terrible living conditions, chickens often die in their cages 15. They are sometimes left to rot in the same space as living birds 16. After two years, those who have survived are sent to the slaughter 17. At the slaughterhouse, laying hens meet the same bloody end as that of chickens raised for their meat 18. They are shackled and hanged upside down 19. They are electrocuted 20. Their throats are cut 21. And they are often scalded to death; Alleged News. See Peta footage re the above 21 points. Warning; viewing not suitable for children. http://www.peta.org/features/egg-industry-cruelty/ Chickens contaminated with campylobacter Nearly three-quarters of fresh chickens in supermarkets and butchers are contaminated with the potentially lethal food-poisoning bug campylobacter, according to the final results of a year-long testing programme published by the Food Standards Agency, Alleged News. [1] The cumulative results for samples taken between February 2014 and February 2015 showed that 73% of poultry is contaminated with the bacteria, and 19% of the chickens are heavily contaminated; Alleged News .[1] Campylobacteriosis Campylobacteriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Campylobacter. Most people who become ill by Campylobacter show the following symptoms;
diarrhoea
cramping
abdominal pain
fever
within two to five days after exposure to the organism.
The diarrhoea can be bloody, and may be accompanied by nausea and vomitting.
The illness usually lasts one week.
If a person with a compromised immune system contracts campylobacteriosis, the Campylobacter occasionally spreads to the bloodstream and cause serious, life-threatening infection. [2]
Leading zoonotic disease
Human Campylobacteriosis is the leading zoonotic disease in Europe and in the US.
In the EU, 214 779 confirmed cases were reported in 2013; Alleged News .
The EU case-fatality rate lay at 0.05%; Alleged News.
56 deaths due to Campylobacteriosis were reported in 2013, with the United Kingdom accounting for 33 of these; Alleged News. [3]
Campylobacter infections are acknowledged to be under-reported; true numbers of clinical campylobacteriosis are estimated to lie between 2 and 20 million per year; Alleged News.
In the US more than 2.4 million cases are reported annually with several hundred fatalities; Alleged News. [3]
Globally, campylobacter infections cause about 400 million cases of diarrhoea annually; Alleged News.
The costs of campylobacteriosis to public health systems and to lost productivity, is estimated to be around EUR 2.4 billion a year in the EU and around USD 18 bn in the USA, Alleged News. [3]
Campylobacter Infection Complications
About 1% of documented Campylobacter cases are associated with severe complications such as arthropathies, abortion [miscarriage] and neuropathological symptoms [Guillain Barre Syndrome, a form of paralysis], Alleged News. [3]
Further complications can include septicaemia, Alleged News. [4]
Septicaemia is an infection of the blood, also known as bacteremia or blood poisoning.
Other infections are meningitis, inflammation of the gall bladder [cholecystitis], and appendicitis; Alleged News. [4]
Guillain Barre Syndrome
A sizeable percentage of those who suffer Campylobacter infections develop Guillain Barre Syndrome, which causes neuromuscular paralysis; Alleged News.
Over time, the paralysis is to some extent typically reversible; however, approximately 20% of the patients with GBS are left disabled, and approximately 5% die; Alleged News. [4]
Miller Fisher Syndrome
Guillain Barre Syndrome [GBS] occurs when an infected person's immune system makes antibodies against components of Campylobacter, and these very antibodies attack components of the body's nerve cells because they are chemically similar to bacterial components; Alleged News.
Miller Fisher Syndrome is another, related neurological syndrome that can follow Campylobacteriosis; Alleged News.
Miller Fisher Syndrome is also caused by a triggered immune response, Alleged News. [4]
Reiter's Syndrome
Another chronic condition that may be associated with Campylobacter infection is a condition formerly known as Reiter's Syndrome; a form of reactive arthritis, Alleged News
Multiple joints can be affected, particularly the knee joint. Pain and incapacitation can last for months, or become chronic; Alleged News.
Reactive arthritis is a complication strongly associated with a particular genetic make-up;
id est, people who have the human lymphocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) are the most susceptible; Alleged News. [4]
What causes Campylobacter?
Contaminated poultry meat is considered to be a major source of infection for humans, which may be partly due to the high bacterial load among live birds and the automation of the slaughter process; Alleged News. [3]
The intestinal tract of chicken, especially the cecum and colon, can harbor Campylobacter bacteria; Alleged News.
During processing, the intestinal tract may leak or rupture, and the contents be transferred to the skin of the carcass; Alleged News.
Campylobacter spreads quickly through a broiler flock within a matter of days; Alleged News. [3]
Coprophagy [the eating of faeces or dung], and chicken-to-chicken transmission via the fecal-oral route [faeces or dung to eating through beak] increases the dissemination of the bacteria [or its rapid spread]; Alleged News. [3]
GRINDING OF CHICKS
ALIVE IS TORTURE!
GENDER BIAS AGAINST INNOCENT
ANIMALS IS DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST A SENTIENT BEING!
EXPOSURE OF HUMANS TO
COPROPHAGY LINKED ILLNESS
IS DEMEANING TO THE DIGNITY

37,OOO PEOPLE IN 143 VILLAGES IN ETHIOPIA NOW HAVE CLEAN WATER BECAUSE OF RACHEL'S WISH. Five years ago, young Rachel Beckwith had a wish. Shortly before her ninth birthday, this young lady learned that children on the other side of the planet were spending more time walking to find and collect dirty water, than they were in school. She decided to help. Birthday Gifts Rachel asked family and friends to donate $9 to her fundraising campaign for water, instead of giving her birthday gifts. She wished to fundraise $300 - enough to bring clean water to some children in need. Rachel managed to raise $220. Her mom reassured her she could try to fundraise more for her next birthday. Not to be But it was not to be. Tragically, this little angel left us a month later in a traffic accident. The Seattle community of Rachel and her family were shaken to hear the news. A local news station happened to mention Rachel's wish to raise $300 and bring clean water to children in need. Hundreds of strangers began to give $9 in her memory. Their numbers swelled to tens of thousands. Eventually, Rachel's fundraising campaign had grown from $220 to $1.2 million. This sum has proven sufficient to bring clean and safe drinking water to 37,770 people in Ethiopia. Impact In Beato alone, 250 people collect an average of 1,484 liters of water every day, because of Rachel. 408 of the benefactors who donated to Rachel's fundraiser, went on to fundraise for clean water as Rachel had. Their group has raised another $1.7 million for clean water. [1] Water is the gift of life Without water we cannot exist. Without clean water, we cannot hope to live healthy, lengthy and strong lives. Rachel gave a gift that will continue to keep on giving. As each liter of water is brought up from each well, so her thoughtfulness and care for others continues to spread a rainbow of blessings around the earth. Want to Help?

Children of Sanghamitta Seba Sangha enjoying meals from the newly built Kitchen
LANDSLIDE DEVASTATION OF CHILDREN'S ORPHANAGE AND SHELTER WAS REPORTED BY LUMIERE ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd 2015. Today we are delighted to report that due to benefactions from Lumiere Charity Benefactors, and co-sponsorship, more than 177 boys and girls - together with dedicated monks and staff - are benefiting from a newly built kitchen in Sanghamitta Seba Sangha, Bangladesh.
THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE DONE . . .
FROM THIS;
TO THIS!
In September 2015, Sanghamitta Seba Sangha, Children's Orphanage and Shelter in Bangladesh, was devastated by a landslide after a deluge of rain. The Orphanage continuously assists more than 177 boys and girls.
Lumiere Charity benefactions and co-sponsorship have assisted the reconstruction of the Cemi Puca Kitchen in the Orphanage.
Happy Opening Day!
From the purchase of building necessities, through the labour intensive rebuilding, the painting and final stages to the happy opening day of the new kitchen, Lumiere Charity has been privileged to co-sponsor with TOUCH Ireland, benefaction of the dedicated work of Director Paimong and the Directors of Sanghamitta.
The children have a proper kitchen again.
But there are many further needs.
The children need ongoing care, food, medical costs, education costs, transport, clothing.
Orphanage and Rural School Programme
The Kitchen Project is finished. Lumiere now wishes to assist Chief Patron Wee Su Dha Mohothero and Director Paimong Marma with their new Orphanage and Rural School Programme helping impoverished children
in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.
Plantations, Dam and Fish Lake Planned
Sanghamitta also plans to implement small, easy to manage income generating projects;
Rubber Plantations
A Dam - a strong wall to be built across the river in order to dam the water and make a lake
To inaugurate Fish Farming in the lake
Director Paimong Marma has apprised that rubber plantations to provide natural rubber would be an important and income-generating crop.
The climate and environment of Bangladesh
is very suitable for fish farming.
Fish in in great demand in Bangladesh,
so there would be a ready market
for the sale of fish.
Both projects would also form
sources of employment.
Perhaps Divine Providence has led you
to read these words - in the spirit of
Lumiere, is there anything
you can do to help?
