“2018 activities gar relief, inc. Continued to support projects to improve the quality of life for nomadic tibetans living in dire poverty in the remote region of nangchen county in yushu prefecture, eastern tibet. Our projects include the bendurya clinic, which delivers local, low-cost basic health care, wound treatment, and preventative health education to a community that previously had to travel days for care, and achi elder care, which provides the most needy, destitute elders with food, clothing and basic medical care. In 2018 we provided support to 32 elders. We also supported education for children from tajuk village. In 2018 gar relief made changes to its education program. The chinese government closed the elementary school that we have been supporting in tajuk for the past 5 years and issued a new regulation mandating that all elementary school-aged children living in tajuk must attend a government- run school, the closest of which is located in dora, a nearby village. In response to this closing, gar relief has shifted our educational focus to support secondary school-aged children from tajuk to attend secondary school in nangchen. These students are former tajuk elementary students who are now aged 10 to16 and enrolled in grade 4 through high school. Nangchen is about two hours away by car from tajuk, and students must find boarding in the area to continue their studies. Gar relief provides funding to help cover board and daily living expenses for these students in nangchen, which helps ease the strain on families and ensures students continue to attend school. The new school building in tajuk that was recently built through the generosity of gar reliefs donors will continue to house the bendurya medical clinic, and also be used as a community center and gathering space for picnics, pujas and practices offered by monks from gargon monastery, as well as for other local festivities.”
