Tibetan Nomad Aid Trust

We organise sponsorship of Tibetan refugees in India by New Zealanders.

Wellington

We ensure that 100% of donations made by New Zealanders go to Tibetans they sponsor. Developing personal relationships between people from very different backgrounds helps us to know each other better and to understand each other.

We currently organise the sponsorship of six Tibetan teenagers, two children and two monks in India. This means they can continue to study and have enough money for food and other things they need. Currently we need to find sponsores for two more students. We are starting small but have big plans...

New projects - a travelling snowlion for children 16 March 2015

Well it sure has been a while since we posted an update here! We are running an exciting new project as part of the Tibetan Nomad Aid Trust.

Pema the Rainbow Snowlion is a travelling Snowlion that connects Tibetan children and weaves friendships. Many Children growing up outside Tibet might not have many other Tibetan children around them. What might it like to be a Tibetan child growing up outside of Tibet? What might it like to have a Tibetan parent and a non-Tibetan parent? Pema the adventurous and joyous Snowlion is going to find out...

Pema the Rainbow Snowlion is a hand made snowlion toy that travels by post to Tibetan children around the world. She come in a special Tibetan treasure chest that contains her, an adventure activity book for Tibetan children we have been working on and an Adventure Nyin-toh (diary) for children to record their adventures with Pema the Rainbow Snowlion in. She began her journey in New Zealand and in early March headed off on her first overseas adventure. You can keep in touch with what she is up to via our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pema.snowlion or our website: http://www.pemasnowlion.webs.com/

This new project so far is completely self-funded.
