Balance b/d Rs 2,00,000 fixed deposited and Rs.70374.00 in Allahabad Band 2014 Plans: 2013 has been a busy year for us at Tibet World. We’ve accomplished much in a very short period of time and have big plans for next year’s programming. Although Tibet World’s facility has three classrooms, the demand for learning has increased to the point which students and teachers must use the porch and balcony for lessons. In order to accomplish our goals we are adding new programs including:
- Compassion center is a new program for Tibet World that will house all Tibetan cultural programs under one roof. This center will be under the umbrella of Tibet World to promote nonviolence, conflict resolution and Buddhist philosophy to encourage future Tibetan role models.
- Walking tours will be a Tibetan cultural tour to promote awareness for anyone who visits Dharamsala. All visitors will have the opportunity to deeply engage with Tibetan NGOs, CTA, and other Tibetan cultural aspects.
- Tibetan learning intensives will be offered for tourists and volunteers who would like to learn and teach the Tibetan language.
Letter from the founder and Director:
Tibet World is not MY project. It is a project that has been growing with all of your effort, love and compassionate help with which I am very grateful and happy that has started now. We’ve accomplished so much in the last year! With financial support and the assistance of volunteers from around the world, Tibet World has been able to offer diversified programming to benefit Tibetan Refugees, the local Indian population, and people of the Himalayan region. Our programs allow us to holistically impact Tibetan culture, education and environment. As with any new project and just as things grow in nature, Tibet World needs a lot of love, time, passion and also material things like a place to grow, water, sun, etc… With the thanks of many volunteer supporters from around the world, we’ve been able to successfully begin and implement a variety of programs to benefit Tibetan refugees. You have helped us so much by offering your time, service, and spreading the word about our work here at Tibet World. So I take this chance to approach you to ask for your help in terms of what the project needs in this very moment, which is a financial support. A donation of financial support at Tibet World is sponsorship, along with your loving kindness that is as important as the material support. Your donations will go directly towards supporting Tibetan World programs. With your donation, you will get to see the effects your support provides immediately in our programming. Through your financial support, Tibet World will continue to help current students, who will be happy and grateful for your sponsorship! From all of us at Tibet World, I wish you a happy holiday season and a safe and prosperous new year! Yeshi Lhundup ( founder and Director) of Tibet World
