Just the other day, Curly Nikki started her trip to India. She has traveled to several countries to raise awareness of non-profit organizations. Her trip is sponsored by Henna Sooq.
In this recent trip to India, she heads to Mumbai to meet with Joseph Bird of Reality Gives–“a sister organization of an ethically run tour company called Reality Tours & Travel. Reality Tours was created in 2005 by Chris Way and Krishna Pujari. Their main objective was to show the positive side of the slums and to break down negative stereotypes about its residents. They also saw it as a way to employ locals, increase income for the residents who sell products and services, and as a way to raise money for the community (80% of tour profits are invested in Dharavi).” (quoted from Reality Gives: Our Visit to Dharavi in Mumbia, India)
Curly Nikki will be sharing the beautiful culture, and lives of our Indian sisters, so please stay tuned! Part of the focus of her trip will be the traditional art and uses of henna. There will also be some amazing giveaways you won’t want to miss!
OMG. I was just reading her latest post and someone asked her to bring henna directly from India to the U.S. and I mentioned they didn’t have to because Henna Sooq has the Rajasthani henna from the Rajasthani region and Red Raj comes from there which Nikki uses and then I come here and see this post. Lol…too funny! I have enjoyed her first 2 posts and officially can’t wait to read about the rest of her journey now that I know Henna Sooq is affiliated and we’ll get to see some henna art.
Keep up the great work!!!
P.S. I’m still waiting patiently for the 16oz Cocoveda oil. đŸ™‚
That is so sweet!! đŸ™‚ I’m also really enjoying her travels in India. She’s doing some really great things there. So glad to be apart of that. I promise that I will have 16 oz Cocoveda for you THIS YEAR! and soon too! By early February. We go into the New Year with this being our 10th anniversary! We have so much lined up for all of you this year. Very excited.
I read and watched the pictures. Is she going to Pakistan, too?
Pakistan is right beside India. There they have the best henna
named “Jamila”.
Thanks.
Good day Uzma. I’m not sure where her travels may lead her to. Jamila is a great brand as well which we carry: http://www.hennasooq.com/fresh-jamila-henna-powder-2014/
