 I want to introduce a dear couple living in Lhasa. She is Chinese from Beijing and her husband is Tibetan. She travels a great distance to help Tibetans in the Western and Northwestern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China (high elevation and very cold). I am so impressed with her work of compassion to the extremely poor! (Jack, RestoringTouch) Thank you for your support in bringing LuminAID solar lights and LifeStraw water filters to India. Because of security reasons we are not able to go into detail. Click here to contact us for more information.
A special thank you to LuminAID. We provided many personal solar lights to the nomads in the Changtang! Last week we assisted our friend (name withheld) in India, money to purchase supplies for the Tibetan nomads living in the Changtang Tibetan Plateau. They were severely affected by winter snow and lost over half of their yak and sheep. The photographs are of Lobsang bringing the much needed supplies. More about the Changpa, people of the Changtang Plateau. April, 2019 we traveled to Chengdu, then to Lhasa and Gyantse in the Tibet Autonomous Region and ended in Beijing, China. Our two-fold purpose was to bring the first of several Community LifeStraws to Yushu, a Tibetan area near Xining, China, where much of the drinking water is unsafe. We also brought LuminAID solar lights to distribute in Chengdu, Lhasa, Karola and Gyantse. A special thank you to LuminAID, LifeStraw, and everyone who took part in making this, our 7th trip, one of the most memorable ever! Contact | Tibet page | More photos of our work in Tibet We had a great team of 16 people and a great week on the Hopi Reservation, Monday, October 29 - Friday, November 2. Here's a brief report... Tuesday - A halloween party in Polacca on 1st Mesa with at least 300 kids and adults. Wednesday - We joined the Hopi tribe with a Halloween event in the Tribal offices (where the Tribal Chairman, Timothy Nuvangyaoma, came as Miss Hopi '54!) At least 300 children were in attendance! We then joined 1st Mesa Day School in their Halloween celebration. I also had a very special meeting with the Hopi Chairman, grateful for the opportunity. Thursday - We went to Moenkopi, near Tuba City on Navajo land, for a fun time with the children in the upper village. We were able to bless and encourage the elderly as well with financial gifts and gift certificates from the Kykotsmovi store. Thank you to everyone who partnered with us in blessing the Hopi people of Northern Arizona. And a very special thank you to our team for their sacrifice! Jack L. RestoringTouch P.S.
