| Kenya: Taskforce Calls for a Tax Cut to Boost Tea Drinking
Low domestic consumption of tea is one of the key obstacles to better earnings, a new report presented to the Minister of Agriculture says. The report by a taskforce appointed by the minister says the industry could significantly improve its earnings if local consumption doubled to 10 per cent of the entire output from the current level of five per cent. .
A tea party for charity
TRUST the dynamic Bea Zobel of the Catholic Women�s Club to turn an ordinary event like a tea party into something extraordinary for charity. That was exactly what she did recently when she hosted a garden tea party for the beneficiaries of the club. CWC president Tessie Rodrigo immediately convened a working committee to carry out the plan as conceptualized by the host. Appointed members of the organizing committee were Tessie Luz as chairman, Nikki Valerio as co-chairman, Mimi Valerio and Chloe Periquet as program chairs, and Pili Berre�nechea and Lita Gelano for physical arrangements. Carmina Man�tecon and Ellie Esteban were tasked to determine the beneficiaries of the affair. It was a hot and humid day, but despite the searing temperature, the vast lawn of the Zobels began to fill up at the designated time of 3 p.m.
