Our Project in India
A percentage of every sale at Dr. Bombay’s helps support our women’s education project in Darjeeling India, The Learning Tea. In 2010 the owner of Dr. Bombay’s started a scholarship program to support young women who could not afford to further their education. Dr. Bombay’s, its loyal customers, staff and supporters are sipping for scholarships. Each year we fully support up to 12 young women living in our center in Darjeeling with “life scholarships” that cover all living, school, medical, educational and fun activities and expenses. Our students success rate is at 100% of graduation and employment in their selected fields. Want to help? Here’s how..
The Learning Tea and Dr. Bombay’s need your support on August 31st for our first ever “Taste of India to go” dinner. We’ll have plenty of outside seating for you to enjoy your delicious dinner on site. As a sign of the times, we’re also offering a to go dinner option.
All proceeds go to The Learning Tea’s Life Scholarship Program! These dinners are our main source of fundraising for our students in Darjeeling, India. They are following all the health protocols at our center and are safe during this pandemic. Unlike before, we will not be able to accommodate any walk up orders the night of the dinner. Please buy your dinner ticket in advance so we can plan accordingly. Your help is greatly appreciated on so many levels and is being felt thousands of miles away. We miss you and hope to see your faces, even if they are partially covered with a mask!
