A purpose built school, the first ever, has been built and now takes about 65 children a day, including 24 girls. Many children walk for over an hour each way to get to school. Last year enough donations came in to give all 65 children two hot meals a day at school for a year......

We all benefit....
We started our fundraising for Rigul and other Tibetans when we heard about the poverty and hardship in Tibet......
Rigul Trust is a UK Charity whose main aim is to provide funds for the provision of basic health care, education and poverty relief amongst Tibetan refugee communities in India, and in particular for the people of some of the most remote areas of Tibet, such as Rigul. We fund schools, health clinics and basic welfare projects in Tibet and India.

SIKKIM EARTHQUAKE -
With rising costs we have begun a sponsorship programme for bringing much needed food and education to poor Tibetan children.
For the year May 2010 to May 2011 we are sending around £40,000 for:
- the salaries of Dr Chuga, Ani Choden the nurse, the doctor’s assistant
- the running costs of the clinic
- sixty children’s education with two free, hot meals a day at school, five teachers, three cooks
- funds for building a dining room (at the moment the children have to eat in the open air brrrrr in winter!)
- buying and laying underground water pipes to channel the water to nearer the village from the stream and one toilet to be built – the first ever!
We have a choice of sponsoring one or more Tibetan children in the following ways:
Sponsoring one child for one year costs £200
Sponsoring one child for six months costs £100
Sponsoring one child for three months costs £50
Sponsoring one child for six weeks costs £25
The cost for the year for 60 children at £200 each is £12,000
Please help us to help them.........more about our sponsorship program

As more than 1,000 homes were severely damaged, most completely flattened, the long
and difficult job of rebuilding will need to start to shelter homeless families before
the cold winter weather causes even worse suffering -
