NM ROTHSCHILD CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Perusing the website of NM Rothschild I found their page on corporate social responsibility. Besides the charities which receive their patronage and donations, graduates on the NM Rothschild Graduate Training Programme spend a week at a local school helping the teachers. One such recipient of this Rothschild benevolence is Bow Boys Secondary School at which there is a programme called "Rothschilds – Reading and Number Partners". NM Rothschild employees (presumably not from the Rothschild bloodline) become mentors to the pupils helping them to read and write.

From the Bow Boys website, at http://www.bow-school.org.uk/initiatives/rothschild.htm

Victor Bosah who co-ordinates the Number Partners scheme at Bow has recently launched an anti-bullying programme that Rothschild is supporting. "They funded the training of 23 peer mentors who mentor both bullies and victims and purchased 80 hand bands for members of the club. With their help, we are winning the race to minimise bullying in the school."

Veronica Kennard is the Rothschild company co-ordinator whose task it is to ensure the smooth running of the scheme from the Bank’s standpoint and to liaise with the school to see how Rothschild can help. "The link with Bow forms part of our corporate responsibility programme which has focused on education. It allows us to give something back to the community. Involvement with the school gives our employees a change from their normal routine, a chance to feel they can make a difference, the opportunity to build an ongoing relationship with a student and time meet other volunteers from different parts of the company."


Say what? The Rothschilds are supporting an anti-bullying programme?!

I'm very sure the Head Teacher of Bow Boys would be extremely interested in learning more about their patrons, their power and how such power has been abused to drown modern history in blood.

Who was it who said, "Give me control of a nation's currency and I care not who makes the laws"?

God, I feel sick.
