Winter Jackets:
We delivered coats to 530 monks and nuns in Qinghai 2005. In the future, our plans are not just limited to giving out winter clothing, but also to establishing medical and educational facilities for the poor. We will start with Qinghai and then expand to other areas of the world where there is an urgent need and as our funding allows.
Since the year 2005 we have delivered Lama jackets to 2580 monks and nuns in Tibet.
Winter jackets distribution is our current priority. The products are water-proof, wind-proof, and can protect the wearer from temperatures 20F-30F below zero. Our goal is to send these winter coats to Tibet before the arrival of unsparing snowstorms around September.
We also offer all other linages to make these lama jackets with cost plus 10% service fee.

Education:
Except in big cities like Lasa and Cinin, most children, especially those in pastoral areas, don’t attend schools. Desolate areas, affected by factors like plateau topography and severe climates, are often off the map of governmental infrastructure and consequently desperate for foreign aids and domestic auxiliary support. However, many needed auxiliary programs like “Burning Oil Porfect” or “Elementary Schools of Hope” have yet to spread to these areas. That’s why our plan includes building elementary schools in impoverished areas.
School Construction in Jiangda, Tibet:
At present, there are 103 poor students who need $40 each for monthly expense on life and education. Moreover, the school raises long-term school building funds. From the start of the project in April 2008 to now, the number of long-term adoption in USA decreased sharply due to economic depression while the number in Taiwan remained stable. But urgently funds are still needed for education and life. Despite the difficulties in fund raising, we still plan to start the school construction projects in spring because of the current harsh living and studying conditions for students. Therefore, we appeal for help from kind people.
English as a Second Language [ESL]:
To help new immigrants integrate into the society, we set up English classes for low-income immigrants. We had already opened spring classes and autumn classes with good remarks. The autumn class consists of four levels. Participants amounted to over 100 in two seasons. The spring class in 2010 is schedules on March 5. We hope to cooperate with public schools and benefit more immigrants.
