http://www.oft.ca/The Ottawa Friends of Tibet (OFT) was founded in 1996 by Jurme and Angela Wangda and a small group of committed volunteers as a non-political organization dedicated to improving the health, education and economic conditions of Tibetans and Tibetan refugees in India and elsewhere. In 2001, OFT became a federally registered charity. Current projects include the building of a seniors' residence in Kalimpong, India, for destitute elderly Tibetans; and, in cooperation with Child Haven International, the funding of two orphanages for Tibetan children, one in New Delhi, India, and one in Tibet near Lhasa. Our mission is to serve disadvantaged Tibetan children, men and women in India, Nepal and Tibet, and to increase public awareness and appreciation of Tibetan culture. The Ottawa Friends of Tibet also aims to establish an Ottawa Tibetan Centre to increase awareness and appreciation of Tibetan culture and to further the understanding of Buddhist philosophy and practice.
The Ottawa Friends of Tibet are involved in the following projects:
Kalimpong Senior's Home Project: More than 130,000 Tibetan refugees are now living in various areas of India and Nepal. Since the first mass exodus in 1959, Tibetans have been fleeing the region at a rate of 1,300-3,000 a year to escape religious persecution and political oppression at the hands of the Chinese government in Tibet. They make the dangerous journey across the Himalayas into Nepal and India, with only as much belongings as they can carry. The majority of the refugees are scattered across India in about 35 settlements. Poverty and inadequate housing leave the elderly in the worst of predicaments. There are approximately 14,600 Tibetan communities throughout the northeastern provinces of India: Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Sonada, Ganktok, Shillong, Bomdila, Miao and Teju. Within these communities, 1,800 are elderly, many of whom are destitute and unable to care for themselves. At this time, there are only 55 beds available for the communities. As the refugee population ages, the number of elderly requiring proper care facilities will continue to increase.
The Senior's home will provide a functional environment with adequate care to the growing number of elderly Tibetans. Also, the design of the facility will set a new standard for quality-of-life facilities in the Kalimpong region.
The Ottawa Friends of Tibet support the following groups/charities:
Child Haven International: Inspired by the ideals and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Child Haven International is a registered charity, founded in 1985. Child Haven assists children and women in four (4) countries - India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh, who are in need of food, education, health care, shelter and clothing, as well as emotional and moral support.

Chaksam-pa aims to continue the work of preserving and promoting the Tibetan culture by organizing national and international tours and workshop classes. Authentic costumes, from headdresses to boots, as well as hand-made musical instruments, ensure true representations of the traditional dances and operas of Tibet.
Chaksam-pa's performers represent the only masters of Tibetan performance arts in exile. All of the performers are former members of the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, in Dharamsala, India. The work of Chaksam-pa is a brave effort to save part of Tibet's beautiful but threatened culture.

http://www.sierrafriendsoftibet.org/The Sierra Friends of Tibet's purpose is to raise awareness of Tibet; to advocate self-determination for the Tibetan people; to end the illegal occupation, the destruction of the natural environment, the eradication of Tibetan Culture, and the continuing genocide of the Tibetan people by the Chinese Communist government. We promote a peaceful resolution of these issues.
The Sierra Friends of Tibet is not a religious organization, nor does it advocate one religion over another. However we recognize that Tibetan Buddhism is inseparable from Tibetan Culture. Therefore we also raise awareness of Tibetan Buddhism.
Some of the Tibetan people we have hosted here in the Sierra foothills,specifically the small towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City, are the Drepung Loseling monks, Sera Je monks, the venerable Choeding Rinpoche, the Khachoe Ghaykil Ling nuns, Thepo Tulku, Lobsang Samten,
His Holiness Orgyen Kusum Lingpa and others.
The Tibetan Radio Hour is a radio program devoted exclusively to Tibet. It airs on KVMR-FM, Nevada City, CA. on the first Friday of each month, from Noon to 1:00 PM. KVMR broadcasts at 89.5 FM in the Sierra Foothills, 103.7 in Auburn, and 99.3 FM in Sacramento. KVMR is available anywhere in the world on the Internet at
http://www.kvmr.org/ through webradio.com. Now in its tenth year, The Tibetan Radio Hour is produced and hosted by Joseph Guida.

To alleviate this crisis, SF has operated a primary care clinic in a remote, poor region of Western China, in partnership with the Chinese Government, Qinghai Province and Yushu Prefecture, since 1992.
Core Project: The Core Project has treated over 67,000 patients for free, including medicine, since the clinic building was completed in 1996. Its focus is on mother and child health. It supports two local ethnic Tibetan doctors, Phuntsok Dongdrup and Sonam Drogha.

http://www.rangzen.com/The International Tibet Independence Movement (ITIM) was co-founded by Thubten Jigme Norbu (oldest brother of His Holiness The Dalai Lama) and Larry Gerstein (Professor-Psychology) on March 18, 1995 in order to secure Tibet's Independence through non-violent methods. The basic premise of ITIM is that "Only Independence for Tibet can ensure the survival of the Tibetan land and it's people, culture, and religion." The goals of ITIM are as follows: 1) Articulate a concrete vision of Tibet as an Independent Nation; 2) Promote the use of documentation that advocates using Independence as the primary focal point for activities relating to the Tibetan cause world-wide; 3) Demand that the voice of Tibetans for Independence be heard by government and non-governmental agencies world-wide; 4. Encourage the collective, coordinated participation of all Tibetans and their supporters to develop and implement strategies for economic, legal, and political action.
