Gifts that keep Giving

When a birthday or religious festival arrives we have a chance to practice the art of giving. It is a beautiful feeling to hold another in our heart and mind over days planning a gift that will meet that place in them that means so much to us.

But there can also be a feeling that there are people in the world who have missed too many birthdays, who really need some help.

This last birthday I received a card from my brother, it had a picture of a calf and the words, "I have bought you a cow...but given it to someone who needs it more than you". What had happened was my bovine present was sent directly to a poorer family in Malawi. It was the most enjoyable present I have received for many years. Sitting in cloudy England imagining this young cow with her African family.

We too offer these gifts that keep giving. As you may have seen elsewhere in the web-site a cause that is very dear to our hearts are the polio-affected in India. Especially the work of Sanjay and his team in Bodh Gaya, who offer rejuvenating physiotherapy to bring some of the poorest back to their feet. You can read more about the work of the Hope Charitable Trust here.

We are pleased to offer you the chance to give fully; treating the polio affected and giving a beautiful gift also to someone near to you. You can buy crutches to uplift, calliper(walking aid) to support or a plaster cast to straighten their leg and send it on in their name to one of the poorest in India. They will receive an e-card from us explaining what you have done for them. Alternatively we can e-mail it to you, and you can forward it on the special day or you can print the card out and post it to them. Simply put your email address in the "To:" box, after selecting a gift below.

All the money will go entirely, and directly, to those who need it most. The only administrative costs we have are the credit card processing fees, which are minimal, nothing else. What you purchase today will be directly helping someone to walk again.
