PROJECT TIBET SOCIETY

DONATE. All of us dream of greatness for our children – for the opportunity for them to become doctors, scholars, artists. But for many families, those dreams and opportunities may never be realized. Donate to Project Tibet Society and make a difference today That’s particularly true for thousands of Tibetan children who live in Arunachal Pradesh, a remote province in northeastern India. While India generously gave their parents and grandparents sanctuary when they fled their homeland in Chinese-occupied Tibet, the reality for these children is they may never have the chance to realize their potential and to experience what so many of us in Canada take for granted: the very best for themselves. That’s because the reality is, the inaccessibility of the refugee settlements makes even providing education close to home impossible. Instead, these children must attend boarding schools many days’ journey from their families, with visits home – to their refugee settlement – every 3 to 5 years at most. Just the cost of education, in other words, is family separation. A chance for a new beginning in Canada for Tibetan families. At the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in 2007, the Canadian government agreed to facilitate the immigration of 1,000 displaced Tibetans living in Arunachal Pradesh over a five-year period starting in 2013. To oversee this wonderful opportunity and help welcome our new neighbours to their new homes, the Canada Tibet Committee incorporated Project Tibet Society (PTS). Here’s how you can help. While the Canadian government as well as PTS Sponsors are providing much in the way of support and resources, Project Tibet Society must still depend on your financial generosity to make this dream a reality. From language and job training to basic needs associated with resettling our newest Canadians, we need your help so that these families can start their new lives and achieve greatness for their children in Canada. That’s why we ask and urge you to become a friend or patron and donate to Project Tibet Society today.
