My dear friend Amjee Bhutti, a Tibetan physician now living in Massachusetts, has recently started this organization to aid elderly Tibetans living in exile in India, people who have no one else to look after them.
Their mission:
Tibet Elderly Help raises funds to benefit Tibetans who are living in India and Tibet under extremely poor conditions. Our focus is on providing physical, emotional, and spiritual aid to the elderly. With the help of your support, we are able to supply them with food, medicine, medical care, warm clothing, clean water, basic home repairs, and other necessities. On occasion we may also assist orphans, single parents, and others in these communities who need support.
(His Holiness the Dalai Lama with Dr. Bhutti)
Tibet Elderly Help realizes that aid begins with an understanding of the issues. We work to promote such understanding by sponsoring cultural events and spreading knowledge about the challenges that face Tibetan communities and their elders.
