Pack of 2 beautiful handmade cards from HOPE’s projects in Kolkata. Blank inside for your own message.
These cards are made by HOPE’s income generation Unit, located in South Kolkata. Groups formed by local women design, develop and create these cards by hand. Working to generate an income for their families, many of the women use their savings to enroll their children to School.

Mahatma Gandhi once famously asked, ‘How can I be the change that will make a difference in the world?’ – a question that forces us to look beyond the conventional measurements of success in order to evaluate our role in life and our relationship with others.
In this book, introduced by Maureen Forrest, founder of The Hope Foundation, forty-two contributors (including Maureen herself) tackle the question. The answers are as varied as the contributors themselves, each with their own unique experience to share. It is an inspiring book with a treasure-trove of wisdom that is bound to challenge and provoke the reader.
All the profits from this book will go to the Hope Foundation.
