New Projects

Small purchases

India – Ngoenga school/residence in Dehradun (Uttarakand)

The children in the Ngoenga school/residence...

are growing up and the beds they had a few years ago have become too small. New larger beds and their orthopaedic mattresses were requested by the school/residence management, as well as other small necessities: thermal containers to keep food warm, new light bulbs, an inverter, a taller staircase and foam mats for the boys to sit on in the hall.

Renovation of two student houses

India – Private I.T.I. School – Selaqui (Uttarakand)

The vocational school in Selaqui, which...
we visited this year for the first time, impressed us with the professionalism and efficiency with which it is run. We also believe that a vocational school of this quality is exactly what Tibetan (and non-Tibetan) youth need at this time in history. We therefore very willingly agreed to sponsor the renovation of the student houses.

Canteen and kitchen for the school

India – Lugsung refugee camp at Bylakuppe (Karnataka)

The Gulladhalla school, in the refugee camp at...

Bylakuppe, urgently needs renovation work. The most urgent is to build a canteen with kitchen annexed because the previous one had to be demolished as it was unsafe and dangerous. At present the children eat on the ground under the porch and all group activities (the canteen also functioned as a multipurpose room) are seriously limited due to lack of space. We were very happy to accept this project since we strongly believe in the importance of education and the possibility of delivering it in a healthy and safe environment.

This project, already budgeted for last year, was delayed and is ongoing this year.

Purchase of teaching tools

India – Private I.T.I. School – Selaqui (Uttarakand)

The vocational school in Selaqui, which...

we visited this year for the first time, impressed us with the professionalism and efficiency with which it is run. We also believe that a vocational school of this quality is exactly what Tibetan (and non-Tibetan) youth need at this time in history. We have therefore very willingly agreed to sponsor the purchase of more modern teaching tools.

Purchase of a car

India – Kera Kurd Institute, New Delhi

The Sisters of the Destitute, who run...
the shelter for mentally disabled and abandoned women inKkera Kurd, expressed to us the need for a new car as the current one is more than 15 years old.

Construction of new premises

India – Santisadan (Jharkhand)

The Sisters of the Destitute have, in addition...

to the one in Kera Kurd, another shelter for mentally disabled and abandoned women in Omanjhi (Jharkhand). They have expressed to us the need to build a new floor where they can have an infirmary with four rooms to be able to isolate the contagious patients, and also a laundry where they can hang out their washed clothes during the rainy season.
