Camp is for children with Crohn's disease
Greater Cincinnati's first summer camp for children with Crohn's disease will be held Friday through next Sunday at Camp Ernst in Burlington, Ky.
Children with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, often don't participate in summer camps out of fear that their condition will lead to embarrassing situations.
So the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation organized a special camp to let these children enjoy campfires, hayrides and other outdoor activities, with staff from Children's Hospital on hand. For information, call 585-1775.
Nutrition project aimed at sister city in Ukraine
Cincinnati is literally taking its sister city project with Kharkiv, Ukraine, with a grain of salt.
Food additives that are common in the United States are scarce in Kharkiv.
Shortages of iodized salt and iron-fortified flour are leading to increasing numbers of Kharkiv children suffering brain damage, according to Dr. Glen Maberly, a public health expert from Emory University. Iodine deficiency, large ly unheard of in the United States thanks to iodized salt introduced about 70 years ago, is still a problem in many Third World nations.
Last month, Dr. Maberly asked Cincinnatians who have regular contact with people from the sister city to pass the word about proper nutrition. For information about the nutrition project, call the Cincinnati-Kharkiv Sister City Project at 241-8833.
Cincinnati has seven sister cities: Liuzhou, China; Gifu, Japan; Munich, Germany; Kharkiv, Ukraine; Harare, Zimbabwe; Nancy, France; and Taipei-Hsien, Taiwan.
