Brief Description of Implementation
This project was implemented on February 7^th, 2010; it was nearly the time for celebrating Losar. I chose two poorest families in Gartshe village according to their income situation and members of people who can participate in work under their village leader’s help. After the village leader and I distributed the clothes to the two families. The two families were very happy and especially their children were happy to receive those clothes.

Project beneficiaries

Her name is Sgrontso. She is 86 years old now. She had one son but he was died after he got married. After her son’s death, Sgrontso’s daughter-in-low took her two sons and left home. After that no one cares Sgrontso and she became lonely and weaker. Her living condition became worse and she couldn’t work anymore. Since then her life is depending on the little money that villagers contribute. She said she had nothing to give to express her gratified heart but thanks for the people who helped her from bottom of her heart.

His name is Lung rtog. He is eighteen years old. He studies in senior high school. His parents were divorced when he was eight and he lived with his mother’s parents. Lung rtog’s parents do not take care of him because they have other children. Now his grandparents are old and have no abilities to work and send him to school. But Lung rtog’s study is very good so his school fee is given by a sponsor. The sponsor only cares his school fee and his cloth is always not very good.

Translated thanks letter

Dear donors,

I am a simple student in Gartshe Village. In such a cold winter day, thank you very much that you kindly sent these warm and nice clothes to people who are living in poor conditions such as me and the lonely old woman. For me I never had a chance to wear the modern beautiful clothes, but I never give up with my study. For my grandparents and aunt Sgron tso, they are old and already have no ability to work and earn money. Therefore, I would like to say thank you again and again to the donors and Shem group instead of the other beneficiaries’ for you avoided many difficulties and long distance to send these clothes to us.
