Love Bundle Appeal

/in , /by

Again here we are again stepping out in faith to ask if you could help with New Hope Trust India. Its our annual Love Bundle Christmas appeal.

Our Treasurer Graeme Harris who has now served his ‘apprenticeship’ is again in his voluntary position taking on the responsibility of sending the Cards you order. Our Secretary Deanne is also having cards and hopefully will have some for the UK too. (You can pay by PayPal or Bank Transfer), its all available on this website.
Leprosy is still a real health problem in India, its not historical, it real today sadly.

Please support us in this Love Bundle Annual Appeal that changes the quality of life of some of the poorest people imaginable.

THE CHRISTMAS LOVE BUNDLE…What is it?

Thank you to those who have read our last Newsletter from your support in purchasing a Love Bundle Card in 2016 because of your generosity:

Seven leprosy colonies received Love Bundle Gift Packs, aged women in 34 villages all received the Packs too, 92 Cataract eye surgery poverty line women and 42 homeless women too all given from your support of the Love Bundle appeal; much appreciated. 3 women who stay at Kothavalasa community centre received their Packs. Each of the women comes from so unbelievably different backgrounds and all have sad and terrible stories that bring them into our Community. 3 men at the Leprosy Custodial Home also. I tell you all this to emphasis the extend of goodness that comes out of your buying the Love Bundle Cards For every Christmas Love Bundle purchased you receive a handmade Christmas Card from New Hope ( the New Hope children assemble the card and understand they are also helping others by doing this after school hours) which can be given instead of a gift.

A Bundle of Love

A Bundle of Love

Maybe you will buy a Love Bundle card on behalf of your family or to give as a gift to a friend or family member who you know would rather see that you have, on their behalf given a gift that will change a life, than be given another $20 gift voucher for yet another CD!

A Love Bundle that is given to the patients has practical and needed gifts.

Each one has a Bed Sheet, Towel, Sari (or Loongi for men) Sandals (made at New Hope by our Cobblers), Soap, Coconut Oil, Talcum Powder, all wrapped up with a big red bow. A more descriptive explanation is on the Love Bundle Cards that you buy.

You can’t imagine the delight when they receive a Love Bundle and realize that people have helped them. A kindness to them of what they see as luxury items.

“I would like to close by saying thank you to those who throughout the year have bought a virtual gift through this website. Most of our seeds we buy with money sent for virtual gifts Tomato plants, drumstick trees, marigold flowers, pumpkins are all producing food.. Thank you to all that so many have helped New Hope during the year. –
All the New Hope Trust wish you every happiness and good health in the year to come.”

PS. Ruth and I have become Grandparents this year as our daughter Asha had a baby girl. Can’t believe I am a Grandfather ! Ruth is of course in her element with a baby.

Love Bundle Story

/in /by

So by now like all of us, we are being inundated with glossy brochures and TV adverts from many organisations wanting a slice of your charity dollars for Christmas. All are worthy causes. Sometimes I feel a bit down that we don’t have the money to also give you a glossy brochure asking you to help New Hope India. The fact is that we don’t want to spend money on that because it would mean we would have to use some of your donation to pay for a glossy brochure or TV advert. So here is our simple message .Christmas Love Bundles are more than a present they are a necessity.

Love Bundle Story

Love Bundle Story

When you buy a Love Bundle you will receive a Love Bundle card, made by our children to send to a friend or relative to show that on their behalf instead of a gift that they probably don’t need that you have sent a Love Bundle on their behalf to someone in New Hope Jhan Jhur Leprosy Colony, patient or an aged widow from a Tribal village It’s a great feeling to give a gift of love.

Love Bundles Story 2014

Love Bundles Story 2014

During 2013 New Hope distributed Love Bundles in the aftermath of the Hud Hud Cyclone. In the recent Bike Ride the patients at the New Hope Gandhi Memorial Leprosy Hospital, a 20 bed medical centre ,received a Love Bundle.

[wp_eStore_fancy_display id=13 type=1 style=1]

It was a surprise for the patients and a great joy to see the excitement as they opened them up and realised that they had new shoes, sheet and Sari. As well as our Leprosy patients at Jhan Jhur receiving their gift, this Christmas, the Love Bundles are also part of our care outreach to below poverty line widows and very aged in the hill Tribal villages where the majority of people live well below the poverty line. The gifts are not just presents! The person who receives a Love Bundle is in real life terms only having this one small support opportunity in a year or even in two years. For most, the clothing part of the Bundle is their only time to get new clothing. It is sad in many instances to see the people we find in need having literally no more than rags and after a living a ‘hand to mouth’ existence all year a piece of soap in their Love Bundle gift, is more than a luxury! Your support to this cause, this appeal is full of true care giving, We are looking to helping 820 in need of this gift this Christmas.

Christmas Love Bundles are given out to aged Leprosy patients and you receive a card to pass on as a gift to others, for every Christmas Love Bundle purchased. Maybe you will buy a Love Bundle card on behalf of your family or to give as a gift to a friend or family member who you know would rather see that you have, on their behalf given a gift that will change a life, than be given another $20 gift voucher for yet another CD!

$20 dollars is all it takes to give something so treasured to people in much need of items so simple. Their excitement in receiving a Love Bundle is amazing to be there to witness.
When the bundles are given out there is also a special lunch held. It is very humbling to sit down with 80 or more aged patients and see the joy in their eyes and faces for what the day, through you, has brought to them.

We HOPE that you can find it in your heart to purchase a Love Bundle on behalf of someone you love. It brings JOY, LOVE & HOPE.
Thank you again, for your support. Without it New Hope would not be and the people in need would not have a joyous Christmas.

To you & your families….Christmas joy and blessings.

Maggie Sister.

To those who give and those who receive a Bundle of Love card, all have been part of a chain of events that has changes the quality of life of one or more of some of the poorest isolated elderly Leprosy patients in india. All we can say as the people who received tyre funds and make it possible to happen is –

THANK YOU

This is what you gave with ever $20 Gift Bundle of Love. Each Love Bundle gives elderly Leprosy Patient, a new comb, sandal, sari, bath towel, soap, coconut oil, scented powder, hair clips and sweets. Bundles of Love are really more than just presents or a gift. They contain practical needed items.
A comb with a long and wide handle, that is easy to hold as many of the aged leprosy patients have deformed hands.
A pair of sandals, Velcro tape straps, inserts made from soft flexible rubber. The soles are tough recycled car tyre rubber. . Each is made to fit the foot as almost all the aged have a serious foot deformity. The sandal prevents ulcers caused through the now curable disease.
For the women, a bright Indian sari, which they swap with other women to get the colour that ‘suits’ them. The men are just as enthusiastic to get a new ‘western’ shirt and the traditional loongi. A cotton bath towel is must too.
It`s a great time to be here when the Bundles are distributed. For the aged who receive these Bundles, hair oil, scented powder, hair clips for the women-are all luxuries.
New Hope Australia is an incorporated registered charity, with DGR Status
– The donations made are tax deductible.
