Children's  Educational  Fund

9/25/2013

Match our Challenge Grant! A generous donor has promised matching funds of up to $10,000 for the Children’s Educational Fund specifically designated for children in Rumtek, Sikkim, India. In order to obtain the full matching grant, we need to raise an additional $8,725. Your donation today will help us reach our goal.

The Bodhi Seeds Children’s Educational Fund sponsors school fees for children in the Himalayan region. The donor has designated $10,000 to sponsor the education of children living in the lay community of Rumtek, who ordinarily would only have access to a rudimentary education. In order to achieve their full potential, the children need to be provided with books and attend better schools, where fees range from $400 - $800 per year.

100% of your donation goes to the school fees, and will be doubled by the matching grant. 

Rumtek Monastery holds a special place in our hearts, and the Tibetan lay community in the surrounding town has many families who have a shortage of resources and struggle to pay school fees.

You can change a child’s life by supporting this fund today.

Your donation will help disadvantaged students in this rural area develop literacy, and help them reach their potential by attending a school with better infrastructure and curriculum.

If you are interested in sponsoring a specific child, whether in Rumtek or another Himalayan region, please let us know at donations@bodhiseeds.org. We will give you the name and photo of the child you are sponsoring.

To help us obtain our matching grant before October 31, please donate here today. Please specify that you would like your donation to go toward the “Children’s Educational Fund.”

Thank you!
Sincerely,
Acharya Tashi Wangchuk

LETTER  OF  THANKS  FROM  RUMTEK  MONASTERY

12/15/2011

 
We'd like to let everyone know that we've received an official letter of thanks from the monks at Rumtek Shedra. One of the many things that Bodhi Seeds does for the Rumtek monastic community is provide them with clothing and a modest allowance. Please read their letter of thanks below. Thank you all for your ongoing support. Your contributions, large or small, makes a real difference in the lives of others :).

Respected Venerable Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche,
Acharya Tashi Wangchuk, and all the Members of Nalandabodhi Sangha

This is to acknowledge with lots of thanks the receipt of money offerings to monks of Karma Shri Nalanda Institute for buying "gZen" (upper garment) and "shamthab" (lower garment). We are very grateful to Rinpoche and all our dharma sponsors of the Nalandbodhi Sangha for your continuous help and support to the monks of the Institute for the last so many years through Rinpoche.

We appreciate it very much and thank Venerable Rinpoche, Acharya Tashi Wangchuk and all the Sangha Members from our bottom of hearts and wish you all good health, happiness, long life and success.

Today a special puja was performed for all the Dharma Sponsors including the Members of the Nalandabodhi Sangha by the Karma Shri Nalanda Institute and we send you all our heartfelt prayers and best wishes on behalf of the Institute.

With gratitude and kind regards,

Yours faithfully,
Secretary, Tashi D. Lharisang
Rumtek, Sikkim

MOMO  FUNDRAISER  PARTY  IN  SEATTLE, WA

11/19/2011

 
The Nalandabodhi Seattle Sangha along with many of our Bhutanese and Tibetan friends made momos (dumplings) and delicious foods.  It was an event of friendship, good food, and music played by our own sangha members. $2,000 was greatfully received in donations!

Just like the fundraising effort in Vancouver, BC, the momo party was an effort to raise funds to match a challenge grant of $10,000 USD presented by the Raynier Institute & Foundation. We would like to acknowledge the The Raynier Institute & Foundation for last year's grant of $15,000 toward the building and establishment the medical clinic for Rumtek Monastery and community.  Based on the success of the start of the Tso Jey Clinic in Rumtek in 2010 and 2011, The Raynier Institute and Foundation is, again, offering $10,000 with another $10,000 matching amount based on our efforts to raise $10,000.   
 
We so happy to report that we have raised over $5,110 toward our $10,000 goal! Thank you all for your great generosity.
