Choora
A Choora is a set of 7-9 bangles, usually red and white and are worn by an Indian bride on her wedding day. The choora ceremony is traditionally held on the morning of the wedding, but the modern bride will often arrange a family gathering a few days before the wedding. The bride's maternal uncle and aunt will place a set of choorae on her arms, having first cleansed them in milk. I love this ceremony - always full of fun for the family and emotion for the bride.

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!
