I have recently returned from working with tribal (Tibetan) groups in remote desert communities in the Indian Himalayas. In order to continue to assist to preserve the threatened Tibetan culture, we intend to continue to develop the projects started last year. Yaktrak Projects and EXI are planning a fundraising dinner + auction + performance in Brisbane, with the proceeds from the event going toward employing another Tibetan teacher for the local Tabo Monastery school. The school was established in 2000 by the (1008 year old) Monastery to preserve Tibetan language, Buddhism and culture.
See attached flier and http://www.exi.edu.au/international/indianhimalayas/ and http://www.yaktrak.com/Default.aspx?tabid=617 for more information.
We are seeking two things to assist to get this worthwhile cause underway:
1. Our dinner-venue fell through so we are urgently seeking a suitable Brisbane venue.
2. We would love extra help to organise, perform at, cook for and promote the fundraiser!
If anyone out there in Brisbane has a community hall with kitchen facilities that could seat 100 + and is prepare to let us use it for the night, that would be fabulous! We were hoping to hold the dinner in May and have set aside May 24th as the preferred date. We can acknowledge your contribution in our promotions and we would be happy to contribute toward basic venue costs.
And if you have a little bit of time and a little bit of talent you can contribute in any way at all, and want to learn more about the region and meet some amazing people, drop us a line.
At the dinner, we also intend to showcase our other charitable projects such as Yaktrak's development of an eco-house http://www.yaktrak.com/Default.aspx?tabid=974 and the projects identified on the EXI website.
If you think you can help, please email for more information.
Many thanks
