We sponsor and support Tibetan Elders in Dharamsala India. You can help
them through the Government of Tibet in exile.
Thanks so much! Here is one story Tsering Dolma has forwared to us.

The man is called Namdul. He
is 78 years or 79. He had served in
the Tibetan Army in his youth. After he came back he had been
doing petty business but he was never successful. Now he feels too
old to carry on with the business. Besides there are many young
people that also sell Tsampa like him. Naturally there is a lot of
competition and he feels he can't move on.
The old nun is called Drolkar. She is in eighties. She was a house
wife and some years back she became a nun. Still Mr. Namdul looks
after her and keeps her in his house. She is half blind. She needs
someone to help her when she has to go out. She fears that she
will die this year. Just yesterday she told me that.
Mr. Namdul served in an army (Tibetan army in India) for some
years since Tibetans came to India. Then he sold Tsampa (flour
made from barley that is the stable food of Tibetans) for many
years. Even to these days he sells it. Now he feels very old and
he cannot fetch wood, bake barley and grind into flour. He says
that he hardly gets Rs.500 a month these days. I want him to stop
selling tsampa once I find someone for him. Another sad thing
about him is that he looks after an old nun who is 2 to 3 years
older to him. She was his wife but now she has renounced and she
became a nun since about 10 years back. She is in eighties, very
old and almost blind. They had a son who was a monk since he was a
child. But when the son grew older he left the monk hood and got
married. Since then his parents are disappointed with him and he
never returned from Bomdila (Tibet border). Now they have no one
to look after them. I always feel very sorry to see them. They
live in a tin house. I always think about them when there is storm
and when it rains heavily.
If you can find someone for
them either jointly or separately to support them I shall be very happy.
They will always say prayers, and the sponsor's money shall never go to waste.
I beg the sponsors to give them three times meal and let them be happy until
their death.
