Gift Delivery

August 15, 2009 Leave a Comment

Gift DeliveryIn the Summer of 2009, TFI delivered about $500,000 worth of shoes, clothing, toys, and medical supplies to schools and clinics in Delhi and Dharamsala, India. All items were collected and donated by our partners Peace Builders, Inc. and MedShare, without which this work would not have been possible. Our local guide David Ngone also provided invaluable help. The article is from the Tibetan Delek Hospital Newsletter, July 1 to December 31, 2009.

India, Summer 2009

Nicole KnudsenLiving in Dharamsala, India, for two months was an incredible experience. It was very inspiring to see how the Tibetans have developed their thriving community-in-exile, and I was honored to be warmly welcomed within that community during my brief stay. Dharamsala itself seems to have been literally carved into the side of the Himalayas, and it was amazing to see how the community successfully co-exists with the harsh natural conditions imposed by the monsoon rains, remote location, and soaring altitude.

Uganda, Summer 2008

Diana EckhardtIn the summer of 2008, I was sent to Uganda on behalf of The Forgotten International to continue some work at the Zinunula Omunaku Education Centre originally started by The Rotary Club of San Jose. While there, I was asked to do two things: work with the children at their primary school to teach, among other things, English and Social Studies. Also, with part of the funds provided to me, I was to supervise the building of the roof to their newly constructed Educational Centre, as well as look into how best the school could get clean water, build cement walkways, repair and install new windows and doors, and supply the residence and some of the school with electricity.

India, Fall 2007

Melinda TischIt was my dream for quite some time to take a leave from being a lawyer and go off to see India. In the Fall of 2007, The Forgotten International gave me the opportunity to do just that.

Originally, I thought I would stay for two months, but I ended up staying for five. I was placed with the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD), and there I worked through the end of the year, finishing their work on their Annual Report. Read more »

Villager in the CityThis blog, “Villager in the City“, was written by one of the team members who journeyed to India with Tom Nazario in the fall of 2006 as the idea of creating a charitable nonprofit called The Forgotten International was starting to form in his mind. Tom took a group of friends with him to introduce them to projects in need of aid in different areas of India to see how they, as a group, might be able to help. Read more »

Today at their Annual Pro Bono luncheon in San Francisco, where Jay was honored as Pro Bono attorney of the year, Tom Nazario received a check for $5000 from the firm for TFI's social justice work over the past 12 years.

Jay was a former TFI Board Member and has remained a good friend of our organization. We are thankful to Jay and Perkins Coie, and we are lucky to be surrounded by such caring friends that make our work possible.

There is now running water on campus! Heaps of thanks to Pastor @sharlenesundquistgreene @waWeAreRising

Clean, accessible water means less disease, more time in school, and none of the dangers of having to walk long distances for water.

It is also a joy to see the kids enjoying the free flowing water for the first time!

At the center of this newspaper photo is TFI Board Member, Bobba Venkatadri and his wife, Annapurna. They are performing a groundbreaking / Earth puja ceremony for Ungutur High School in southern India.

With the help of private, corporate and government support, this impoverished school where Bobba himself graduated in 1959 will receive a modern makeover, and the students will have the opportunities they deserve to be competitive.

We look forward to the building progress through 2020, but this is a meaningful first step after four years of tireless work by Bobba to make this day happen.

This is another example of #Thanks and #giving this season and, hopefully, it will inspire others.

Congratulations and well done by all the kind souls involved!

On Veteran's Day, it is appropriate to offer Thanks and Giving to this program in Cambodia that is *still* clearing landmines from battles fought 30 years ago, and not fully acknowledged.

Landmine Relief Fund clears rural lands that are underused because they still contain landmines (that still detonate and injure and kill people) and builds a school so families move onto the land and begin to farm and build communities.

As we remember and honor our soldiers, we also take a moment to remember the people who have had wars fought on their home soil and the ongoing legacy after wars end.

Sharing this from BNP Paribas Bank in NYC in this season of #Thanks and #giving

We are grateful to BNP for their ongoing support of La Comunidad. The work of these volunteers has had a lasting impact and will continue to benefit this community.

***
How did BNP Paribas Volunteers create #positiveimpact for 1,500 children in Peru?

In May 2019, BNP Paribas Americas launched The Fellowship Program – giving five employees the unique opportunity to share their skills and expertise with underserved communities through a meaningful gift of their time.

In partnership with The Forgotten International, these volunteers supported La Comunidad de Niños Sagrada Familia, one of the largest youth centers in Peru, helping to improve the daily lives of 1,500 children.

We are so honored to get this news from McLeod, India! Our film "Living on a Dollar a Day" won Best Documentary and the Special Jury Prize at the Free Spirit Film Festival!

This is a special feeling for us because we do some of our work in the community and have been traveling to McLeod since 1999 (Tom) and 2004 (Jennifer). We're so happy the community received our film so warmly.

Thank you to my good friend Lobsang Dorjee for seeing the film and sending me this article. Congratulations to all the filmmakers and continued success to the festival!

We received a very kind review from a friend who attended the Free Film Festival in McLeod, India, where our film, "Living on a Dollar a Day" was screened on the final day.

He says in part: "People were saying the last film touched and inspired them. Loved the theme and felt sympathy for those deprived."

We're glad to hear this. The film is intended to encourage compassion. We hope so. Thank you to the Free Spirit Film Festival for selecting our film for their program this year! Congratulations to all the filmmakers!

So pleased to see these two amazing women at our offices today! Last time we met was in the spring at Project Pearls in the Philippines where Melissa Villa (R) and Karen Viel Beblañas (L) showed me the important work they are doing with some of the poorest families in Manila.

TFI is proud to support their efforts in education, nutrition, and basic healthcare to hundreds of women and children. They kindly presented TFI with a Certificate of Appreciation, which we will treasure!

Thank you again for all you do, and we look forward to meeting again in San Francisco or Manila :)
