At long last we have an update and some great news! As most of you know, installing a clean water delivery system for this remote community in Kham has been a major priority for us. Last fall, the local water and electricity bureau approved the project, supplying material and technical guidance as well. We took this chance to act immediately, and finish the project before winter. With additional expertise and assistance, the scope of the water project expanded to include not only bringing water uphill from the fourth and largest water source 400 meters away, but also from two other high plateau sources 4 and 6 kilometers away respectively. These sources significantly increase the overall water supply and allow clean water for washing, cleaning, and irrigation. |

The water delivery system is now installed to several distribution sites, saving persons from the daily task of hauling water jugs across steep rough roads to fill slowly at the few nearby springs. The details of the implementation of this project were quite exciting, involving excavating and laying pipe across mountainous terrain, for more details click here (hyperlink to water project). 1,822,200 RMB or $303,700 is needed to repay the loans for this entire project. We'll be focusing on repaying this loan for our fundraising efforts this holiday season. Any donation you can provide will be greatly appreciated. |

Updates on the tree project are very encouraging. The trees are growing well, and there were 10,000 trees planted in this last year! There are now more than 50,000 trees planted, with a ratio of trees to persons of 5:1. This area of Kham used to be famous for its dense forests and fruit trees, we are now helping to restore that environment. Just like last year, for $100 you can give the holiday gift of a tree planted in the name of a loved one. This is truly the gift that keeps giving, both to the local inhabitants and the environment! |

Other updates include a new school for local village children, and a training program for locals in basic carpentry. Both the cottage industry for medicinal teas from local herbs and the medical clinic continue to be successful. Please check out the project profiles for more details. |
