Two brave students 4rm TCV

I don’t remember exactly, when did I read the article on Tibet times but somehow it really encourages me to move one more step toward my charity work.  I am sure if you hear the story then your heart keeps telling you to do something really good, whatever it might be.

Two brave young boys, who flee from their motherland Tibet, for freedom and for better education under the guidance of His Holiness the 14^th Dalai Lama. They challenges great danger in their early stage, escaping from Tibet wasn’t like hero does in the movies. Hero could easily escape from prison, always coincidence but escaping through Chinese border security means risks of their life as well as their whole families. If someone coughs while escaping to Nepal or India then his/her life will be in hell.

Well, I am talking about two brave and courageous students from Suja Tibetan Children Village (TCV) who keep thinking for the benefit of other even they are dying in hell. Tashi Dhondup and his friend, both are students just like us. The only different between us is; they do have unique enthusiasm which could benefit thousands of Tibetan peoples especially students. But we are lacking these sorts of unique qualities. Beside their tight school schedule they manage to publishing monthly newspaper with small budget. You won't believe that they are now studying in grade eight.

It's not like the other newspaper which is full of incidents and accidents. This one, tell us how can we change our lifestyle, how can we be better person in this world etc by telling us the world great person's biography, quotation etc beside this they published students essay. They also share us their experience while escaping from Tibet.

They were in Kalachakra (2011-2012) but they are busy making breads whole day, while in the evening they are busy selling their newspaper. Thinking they could able to add some extra coins in their budget. They are raising fund but not the way some organization does. Do nothing just asking for donation and donation from everywhere. I was deeply inspired by their enthusiasm and hard-working.

I am requesting you to support those organizations that could really use your money in the right way.  Before you take a decision please think twice and check their background what they had done so far now.  Because these day, there are so many fake organization.

If you are willing to support these two students from TCV then please let me know. I welcome your feedback.

My first ever step to d world of charity….

15^th December 2012

It was my last paper and I jump from question to question without much thought coz I have to finish it before 12:00 beside my friends are waiting for me. After reaching Bodhgaya, (18:30) I rush toward the temple in search of the best place so, that everyone will keep their eyes on me. At last I decided to unfold my t-shirt near the busy footpath just near the main temple.

That very night I put everything in their exact place for tomorrow and keep thinking about the heading day. I been guessing the whole night about the t-shirt, how they (people) will response to my first ever charity work. I was afraid that if I was unable to sell the t-shirt then how I can return the capital and beside my whole effort will be worthless. I was unable to sleep soundly at that night coz I cannot stopped myself from thinking more about it.

The next day, I wake up early then ever I wake up in this whole year even it is so cold outside. I pray for the good response from the people. After having a hot ginger tea I walk ahead to the busy footpath. My heart beat quietly and I keep dreaming and dreaming …..

When I reached the busy footpath, my poor heart started to beat like a machine gun. I encourage myself "I can do it, I can do it" even I was unable to unfold my bag. So I been wondering if someone unfold their things then I will do it surely. After waiting almost half of an hour, I saw someone unfolding there bag and scattering their thing. I try to unfold my bag but I was failed to carry on.

 So, I just wait there with my bag full of t-shirt. After an hour, my friend suggested me to request to the kalguy organization for the place in their donation tent. I was delight to hear the suggestion, we rushed there and we request the chairman and luckily we get a positive answer. 

Inside the Kalguy donation tent

After that day onward, I unfold my t-shirt there with other charity organization. Thanks god! I get very good response from the people, especially for the Varanasi students and foreigner who truly support and encourage me do more work ahead.     

It was really hard in the first place but thing went smooth with each passing day. Within those days of selling t-shirt, I learn a lot. We have to encourage our-self. You might get really bad result in the very first place but don’t give up! Keep moving ahead without disappointment. It more important to continue what we are doing and the result will always great at the end.

Coin 4 kids

 I am in seven heaven these days. You might wonder what the hell I am talking about. Obviously I am in seven heaven, once who couldn’t able to buy five rupees chocolate kids is now eating snickers chocolate almost every day. 

Ya, I am talking about my childhood… when I get a coin, I just run straight to nearby shop to buy some candy. For the sake of some coins I used to steal beer bottles from restaurants and sell it to baiya (dhoti). Sometimes I get kicked and sometime I get slapped. All I could do is turn away with full of tears.

Wearing uniform like other kids was obviously daydreaming not because I don't wanted too but my parent couldn’t effort to get uniform for me. So I keep hanging around in the park among flowers and shrubs keeping eyes on lawn thinking I could able to find a coin or 10 rupees note. Luckily if I find notes then I just run straight either to candy shops or marble shops to buy marbles. Marble was my favourite indoor game at the time because I could able to make some coins from it. 

But now neither I need to keep eyes on lawn nor steal bottles from restaurants. Now I am wearing uniform and attending daily class in Namgyal Higher Secondary School like other students. It's not, because of my effort or my parents but helped of charity organization.
So, if charity work can do such wonder then why don’t we collect few coins for those children, who suffer from poverty? There are millions of children who only dream of school. According to the source of Nepal Demographics Profile 2012, it is estimate that 51.4% are illiterate and through other source it is estimate that 65% are illiterate. It is estimate that 20 millions Nepali are living under poverty.

I know, you don’t want to see those poor kids working restlessly in restaurants and so on. You wish to see smile and happiness in their innocent face. You might be thinking about those poor kids but unable to do something good not because you don’t have potential but lacking something. 

Don’t worry; you can use pink piggy bank or some empty jar to deposit your loose change.  In place of leaving change from bus or microbus while traveling, take and deposit in the jar or in your piggy bank…after couples of month you will see your piggy bank become heavier and jar getting fill up. Look around your area and donate to the needy one, whatever weather it is school or some charity organization or something else. It's better for you if you know the detail about school or charity organization before you donate your coins…

Thank you very much for your precious time and I really wish you will start depositing your loose change or coin from today onward.
Thank you…

This is mine... where is YOUR ?
