Tea’s mission? Make the foreign familiar. We travel the world to bring it home to you in a new collection for each season. We dive in head first, eyes wide, arms outstretched… with an open mind and ready heart. We hope to spark conversation in your home which will help make the foreign familiar to your little citizens. Here are a few other companies who are working hard to also open the eyes of little ones – encourage exploration and adventure – to make a difference in the world.

The Global Fund for Children: Since its founding, The Global Fund for Children has touched the lives of more than 9 million children worldwide. With the help of their donors, they’re poised to reach a total of 10 million by 2015. Their impact means thousands of children are going to school instead of to work. Thousands more are protecting themselves from HIV, escaping the bonds of slavery, and getting the childhood they deserve.

Putumayo Kids: Putumayo World Music was established in 1993 to introduce people to the music of the world’s cultures. The label was started as an offshoot of the Putumayo clothing and handicraft company, after its founder, Dan Storper, was surprised by the extraordinary response to the international music he had begun playing in his stores. Putumayo’s meticulously researched and curated musical journeys were so successful that, in 1997, Storper sold the clothing company so he could focus his attention on the music business. For the past 21 years, the company has been known for its joyful compilations of great international music that support the company’s motto: “Guaranteed to make you feel good!”. The company’s commitment to helping communities in the countries where the music originates has led to the label contributing more than one million dollars to non-profit organizations around the world.
