Nangchen Education Initiative and Medical Association
The price of eight pieces of Godiva chocolate (approximately
$11) would provide a month's education for 25 children in a
village school.
The price of a shirt (approximately $30) would provide
medical examinations for the children of one village.
Just one day's pay at an annual salary of $20,000
(approximately $75) would support one village school for three
months.
... at an annual salary of $50,000 (approximately $200)
would support one village school for one year.
... at an annual salary of $100,000 (approximately $400)
would provide education and housing for three children for one
year, or medicine for a mobile clinic for one month.
Or, if you have been fortunate in your investments, you may consider
turning some shares into benefit for others:
Build a clinic in a rural village: $8000.
Support the entire network of 41 village schools (about
1,000 children) for a year: $7,000.
Through the investment of financial resources, educational or
medical supplies, time or skills, you can offer the people of
Nangchen the opportunity to improve their standard of living and to
protect their unique cultural heritage.
