The Boatman's Family
After a very early, very cold morning boat ride to the floating market on Lake Dal Srinagar, a visit to my boatman's family home for Kashmiri tea was welcomed with much enthusiasm! Noon Chai as it's known locally is made from special tea leaves, milk, salt, pistachios, almonds, cardamom, and cinnamon. So delicious and warming. It was difficult to choose whether to have the tea or my camera in my hands as the light in the house was wonderful as was was his family!

The world’s poor spends a staggering US$ 40 billion annually for their energy needs. This equals 10 to 25% of their precarious monthly household budgets on dirty fuels like kerosene. Many remote villages in tribal India are still without electricity. Just £15.00 buys a solar light which will give a family more than enough good light on a daily basis when fully charged. Women can continue with their work, without the toxic hazard of burning kerosene and more importantly children can study into the evening without damaging their eye sight. Whenever I am given a charity donation my first thought is which village needs solar lights!
