Thank You For Helping This is a project where a little goes a long way. I am not a professional fund raiser. Your money will not be used for overhead, travel expenses, or printing costs. It will be mailed to a Tibetan friend in Beijing who will hand carry every donated penny directly to Karma Senge Rinpoche. Donations are needed for building the Tibetan medical facility and stocking it with supplies. Once the facility is complete and functional, it will provide revenue to help support Wenchen Gompa and Kyere Monastery. Donations are needed for continued building construction at Wenchen Gompa. The retreat center is complete and there are 65 nuns now residing at the nunnery, but Rinpoche tells me that there are many more nuns hoping to practice there. Donations are needed for young nuns. Right now, the 65 nuns in residence are all ordained nuns with varying degrees of practice behind them. As word spreads, requests for ordaining new nuns is growing. Donations are needed for the widow and orphan fund. Donations are needed to host important teachers. There is a wonderful tradition in Tibet of teachers traveling and teaching in different centers across Tibet. The 17th Karmapa oversees the spiritual welfare of the Weyching Gompa nuns and visited there in 2001. Donations are also needed to help support Kyere monks who are on 4 to 6 year retreats. Donations of any size will be well used and greatly appreciated by the nuns. In addition, I know that the nuns you see in the picture above, would be interested in names and pictures of donors, if you would care to include them with your donations.
