If you live around the Southampton area and would like to lend a hand with some of our fundraising activities we would be happy to hear from you. We thoroughly recommend helping the people in Rigul, we certainly get a lot of satisfaction. It involves a lot of team work, as well as being a social get together, and lots of fun with various activities.

We started our fundraising for Rigul and other Tibetans when we heard about the poverty and hardship experienced by the Tibetan people since the Chinese invasion and occupation of their country.  

 

The nomadic people of Rigul on the high Tibetan plateau live at an altitude of 12,795 feet and existence is marginal in a sparsely vegetated fragile ecosystem and where winters are extremely harsh. Living in a remote area far from any of the supports for life which we take for granted, they lacked basic healthcare, a school, and still have no piped water, electricity, telephone or sanitation.

We have raised money

from car boot sales; sponsored runs; a parachute jump (see Claire in free-fall above!); cake stall and garden cream tea parties; plant sales; dinner parties and ‘bring & buy’ to name but a few!

A DVD tour of the Buddhist pilgrimage sites of India with Ringu Tulku was produced in 2006. If you would like to order a copy of the DVD or video you would be helping to raise money for vital welfare projects in Tibet and India whilst you enjoy these wonderful places.
