New Hope Rural Trust, based in Orissa, is a charity we have supported for many years – see our International Projects page for more information.
A new project for the senior girls involves the production of tea bags. Each box contains six varieties of Assam tea – bay leaf, lemon grass, cardamon, clove, aniseed and ginger, herbs and spices which have been part of Indian culture food preparation long before tea became India’s national drink.
We received ten boxes which sold out immediately raising £50 for the charity as production and postage are funded by a grant from a charity in Australia.
