Donation focus: Education Due to the low population density, the distances between schools in Tibet are enormous. For mainly this reason, children from nomadic families can only really attend boarding schools. The high costs of these schools, however, are beyond the financial means of most parents. As a result, the children stay at home and help with the housework or with the animals. By paying for their living expenses, school materials and medical care ROKPA enables these children to attend primary school. ROKPA also helps Tibetan youths attend secondary school and even university, as the government offers virtually no support in this field. In 2012 a total of 9106 children and youths were able to attend school thanks to ROKPA. Example: Rinchen Tsomo / Chöpdrak Fourteen-year-old Rinchen Tsomo comes from a village not far from Nangchen. Rinchen Tsomo is an orphan and was only able to attend school thanks to ROKPA’s support. During the week she lives at the Chöpdrak School for Orphans, while she spends weekends with her grandmother. Her older brother also lives with their grandmother and works there. He has never attended school. Rinchen Tsomo would later like to become a teacher of the Tibetan language. Project: Chöpdrak School for Orphans in Nangchen, Qinghai Province (China) Goal: By covering living, medical and school material expenses, ROKPA provides 120 orphans with an education every year. Budget 2012: CHF 10’700 (CHF 89 per child) 10
Donation focus: Culture ROKPA’s cultural program includes three kinds of projects: the support of monastery colleges, the (re)construction of cultural monuments and the preservation of important Tibetan literary works. Because the Tibetan people are spread across five Chinese provinces and belong to different government administrative units, their identity symbols have great importance. Without traits of common identity, the Tibetan traditions dating back thousands of years are threatened. Tibetan has now been recognized as the second official language in the autonomous region of Tibet, but there is still a possibility that the Chinese language will become more prominent. Monastery schools are the only institutions where the sole language of instruction is Tibetan. Monastery Kajin Wangmo is 83 years young and has spent almost her entire life in Kepcha Monastery. Last year she fell ill and had to stay for a time at Shonda Hospital − it was the first time in years that she had been away from the monastery. Now she is doing better and is glad to be back at the monastery. ROKPA supports her and 29 other nuns by covering some of their living expenses and by funding the clinic that ROKPA built there. Project: Kepcha Women’s’ Monastery in Nangchen, Qinghai Province (China) Goal: By means of a food allowance, ROKPA provides food for 30 nuns in the monastery. By building and funding the clinic the nuns as well as the surrounding population are able to receive primary medical care. Budget 2012: CHF 18’250 11
