we are representing small tea farmer called small tea grower in Jalpaiguri dist , West Bengal which is famous as Dooars tea. Small farmers are mainly poor, indegeneous people below the poverty level.Though we are trying our level best to organise them in one platform called Self help group (SHG) with our limited resourse.These SHGs are the green tea leaf selling centre with cooprative concept which ultimately improves steady price realisation.Can you help small tea farmers of this area with your project.B.G Chakraborty Secretary, jalpaiguri zilla khudra cha chasi samity.

Beautiful report, Phyllis, of what appears to be a lovely place! So good to see tea being produced outside the plantation paradigm.
I love the way you follow each expedition with a vacation!!! Wise woman!
