From Wikipedia:- "A herbaceous plant (in botanical use simply herb) is a plant that has leaves and stems that die down at the end of the growing season to the soil level. They have no persistent woody stem above ground. A herbaceous plant may be annual, biennial or perennial. Annual herbaceous plants die completely at the end of the growing season or when they have flowered and fruited, and they then grow again from seed. Herbaceous perennial and biennial plants have stems that die at the end of the growing season, but parts of the plant survive under or close to the ground from season to season (for biennials, until the next growing season, when they flower and die). New growth develops from living tissues remaining on or under the ground, including roots, a caudex (a thickened portion of the stem at ground level) or various types of underground stems, such as bulbs, corms, stolons, rhizomes and tubers. Examples of herbaceous biennials include carrot, parsnip and common ragwort; herbaceous perennials include peony, hosta, mint, most ferns and most grasses. By contrast, non-herbaceous perennial plants are woody plants which have stems above ground that remain alive during the dormant season and grow shoots the next year from the above-ground parts – these include trees, shrubs and vines."

"TWAM Tools with a Mission (TWAM) enables people to earn a living and to support themselves. We supply tools and equipment to organisations who fulfil our requirements and are approved by their own government. We do not provide tool kits to individuals. In many countries of the world people have few skills, little education and no means of earning a living. A switch from aid dependency to self-sufficiency is impossible without help. TWAM started over 25 years ago, and has given help where it is needed most, by collecting and refurbishing tools and equipment no longer required in the UK and sending them overseas. Axminster Tool Center provide collection points for TWAM at their various depots. When you go to them to buy your new tool don't forget to take your old one and hand it in for TWAM. Our headquarters are in Ipswich, Suffolk, where tons of equipment are sent overseas each year. In addition we have refurbishment centres around the country;
where teams of dedicated volutunteers enable the work to continue." from Summer 2013 Issue in TWAM News.
Doing Our Part "A few years ago, I was looking for something to keep me occupied after health problems curtailed my physical activity. Then someone from TWAM came to Woodbridge Methodist Church to talk about the wonderful work being done by the organisation. The idea of renovating tools sounded intertesting and possible. While TWAM have a workshop at their headquarters in Ipswich where volunteers work together, I am not able to sit for too long at a time so suggested bringing something home to work on when I felt able to. Graham set me off cleaning planes, making them look as near-new as possible. So far, I have refurbished 465. Also, after the talk, a box was placed in the church foyer where members and friends can leave tools and other useful items. Things are cleaned and polished up, then taken to the Ipswich depot. And a group of ladies produce an abundant supply of knitted items, tool kit rolls and haberdashery bags. TWAM is a wonderful organisation, helping people in foreign countries make their iving. We enjoy being able to our small part to help out." from Mike Morphy in Summer 2013 Issue of TWAM News.
Report from Zambia who received TWAM tools "Zambia is a country with vast mineral wealth but their people remain poor in healthcare, education and employment opportunities. Pastor London and Agness Mwape oversee a training programme in the small village of Isenge where we saw our carpenter's kits and sewing machines being put to good use. He wrote recently: 'Greetings. We were pleased to see you at LAM general farming and training services. Your short time with us means a lot to us. The United Church of Zambia helps us with the distribution of TWAM goods to various projects in Zambia and they took us to visit a number of them in the Lusake district. We received a warm welcome at the Schools who had received books, computers and other equipment. |

I'm sure you will agree, an amazing achievement by our volunteers refurbishing these tools in our workshops around the UK. We are committed to fulfilling the requests - like installing Rainwater Collection Tanks in Uganda and Rwanda - we have received for the rest of this year." from TWAM News Summer 2013.
