BLSCP member, Colette Smith, had the privilege of visiting the rural Namling County area of
Tibet in November 2000. She met with school officials and regional education professionals.
BLSCP is collecting simple items to assist the students with school supplies and some basic
health care items like toothbrushes and toothpaste. Children's chewable vitamins are also helpful.
Cash donations are also appreciated and will be used to print books and purchase other needed school supplies.
We are assisting in building the first vocational training school in this area, and cash donations can be designated
for this construction project. Job training will be in the areas of construction skills, tailoring/seamstress, tractor
repair, and improvement of high-altitude agricultural skills. All cash donations will be used for the Tibet schools;
no administration costs or other fees will be deducted.
