Sponsor the
Education of a Tibetan Child
One of the most crucial responsibilities of Tibetans in India is to
educate the children who are the future seeds of Tibet. To ensure the
education of the next generation, a sponsorship program has been
established for Tibetan refugees, mainly in South India. This program is
under the administration of the Council for Tibetan Education, Dharamasala,
India.
Sponsorship for a Tibetan child to attend boarding school is $10 per
month. Sponsors send an annual sum of $120 and an additional $1 per month
(optional) to help defray the administrative expenses of the program here
in the U.S.A. The U.S. representative forwards all funds to the Council
for Tibetan Education to make the international money transfer efficient.
Please join the TRA Program and make a difference in the lives of Tibetan
children.

Paper
Road/Tibet
Reintroducing the art of making paper back into
Tibet. After the mass destruction of monasteries by the Chinese, the
printing of sacred texts on hand made paper was virtually eliminated.
Papermaking and the special methods used to produce paper that lasts
hundreds of years, dissappeared in Tibet. This is a attempt to bring it
back.
