Project location: Impoverished villagers of Fudi Village in Gansu Province.

Brief Description of Implementation:

This project was implemented from October 3rd through October 19^th; 2007.It is to provide the clothes to the poor families in Fudi Village. 46 villagers get benefit from this project. The beneficiaries are including the old people, young people, men and women. These people are from the poor and big families. These families usually cannot buy the warm clothes to all the family members. Especially at the winter, when people herd on the high attitude mountains all of them are trembling from the coldness. I distributed these clothes in two different times: one is in the morning and the other is in the afternoon because at this time all the villagers are very busy with both livestock and harvested barley on the fields. I was not able to take the photos of the afternoon because it was near to dark and people were in a big hurry to prepare dinner. I didn’t have enough time to write the final report right after I distributed the clothes until now. These are really wonderful and warm clothes. All the people are very appreciative.

Interviews of beneficiaries

Dongzhu is a mother of four children. She has a huge family of ten people. She is the only one in her family to do the hard labor because her husband is sick all the time and her mother is a blind woman who cannot contribute any labor to this family. This woman’s four sons are wandering around and doing nothing, except eating. She is very happy that she got all these clothes for her all family members. Now she doesn’t need to buy the winter warm clothes this winter anymore and she can use this much money to buy other life supplies.

Her name is Suokao and she has started a nuclear family just a couple years ago. She has two sons and these two sons are only seven and eight years old. Her family doesn’t have many livestock and nor large acres of the lands. Both she and her husband are illiterate. However, they are sending their little sons to attend the school.

Thank you letter

Translation of the thank you letter

Dear Kleisath Family and her friends,

Thank you very much for your generous help with those nice and warm clothes. It has made our life more comfortable and you let us have a warm winter this year.

We are the villagers of Fudi Village. We have large family with very limited land and livestock, which cannot support our life properly with very warm clothes, especially in winter we have difficult time to make money outside as being the constructing work. All your donation of the trousers, heavy coat, shoes, etc. made us clean and cozy.

We want to say thank you and wish you all the best luck. We wish your work to move forward smoothly and successfully.

Tashi Deleka
