Ongoing Projects
100% of your donation goes directly to our charitable projects. Not one penny of your donation will go to TBCA’s overhead. Very few charities in the world can make this statement!
- TBCA continues to provide educational sponsorships to the Bodong Monastery School which Geshe Pema Dorjee established in Kathmandu, Nepal. These funds support young boys and men who come from impoverished families in remote Himalayan areas where educational opportunities are not available. Your donations to TBCA provide these boys with a safe and caring place to live (including full room and board), a complete education, clothing, and medical care. The teachers and staff at the monastery school serve as role models because they live the humanitarian and ethical principles that they teach. Eventually, some of the young men choose to become fully ordained monks, while others choose to return to their villages and become meaningful and helpful members of their community.
- TBCA continues to provide educational sponsorships to the Green Tara Bodong Nunnery School which Geshe Pema Dorjee established in Arunachal Pradesh, India. This nunnery is similar to the Bodong monastery except that at the nunnery it is young girls and women who are given a safe home and good education while being shielded from the risk of human trafficking..
- TBCA continues to support about 70 elderly and handicapped people in remote villages in northeast Arunachal Pradesh, India. This project is carried out by the same volunteer committee that successfully managed our Stove Project. Twice a year, they venture out to these villages and provide money, blankets, clothing, and general care to the elderly and handicapped. The committee, made up of local teachers and students, must often travel by foot through the mountains because many of the villages are unreachable by road.
- TBCA continues to support a medical emergency fund for whenever Geshe Pema Dorjee calls upon us to send funds to assist people in need of urgent medical or surgical care.
- TBCA continues to support projects that teach villagers to help themselves by learning skills and crafts that prepare them for jobs.
