Theresa’s design was inspired by a drawing by Krishnamoorthy, one of the boys at the home in Tirunelveli. On her last visit to the home Kathy had asked each boy to draw a picture of the Neem trees that surround the campus and brought the drawings back home with her.

Theresa selected Krishnamoorthy’s drawing because of its simple charm and the fact that it was easily adapted to form the logo of The Neem Tree Trust.

THE NEEM TREE
The Neem Tree is known as the “Tree of Life” in India and has long been revered for its many healing properties. Beautiful Neem trees with clusters of honey-scented white flowers grow around the campus of the boys’ home in Anavarathanallur, giving much needed shade from the intense sun. In fact its shade is said not only to cool but also to prevent the occurrence of many diseases. The boys regularly clean their teeth with Neem twigs to help prevent gum disease and to protect their mouths from infection. We think it is appropriate therefore that our charity, which is supporting disabled boys in India, should be named after the beautiful Indian tree which has such an impact on their daily lives.
