July 15 - 18, 2006, Duoxi villagers worked with our
TAF team building a water tank at the water source in the mountain,
about 4 miles from the village. |
| July 20 - 25, 2006, Duoxi villagers built
the main water tank above the village. The size of the tank
is 9'x18'x9'. Duoxi village has 81 homes, but the water
is enough for about 200 homes or more. |

On July 25, 2006, Dorjee Tsewang the president of the TibetanAid
Foundation and his wife Dolkar Tso personally tasted the mountain
spring water of the Duoxi village. It was amazing and unbelievable
that over 500 people and thousands of animals are able to drink
fresh water in their own clay houses from now on. Hopefully, all
the donors of the Duoxi Water Project will be able to visit this
wonderful and poor village to taste the water to know that their
contribution will benefit this village for many generations to
come. They should be proud of funding this wonderful project.

The Duoxi villagers dug trenches for the
pipes to reach their clay houses and were eager to complete
their water project.

This family worked hard and was waiting for the water to come.
Suddenly, the water came. The water pressure was too high and
splashed everywhere, and they all became very excited and happy.
The woman on the left was in tears telling us that she could not
believe that she would not need to fetch water from far away anymore.
|
| Some children were also very amazed and dashed
to the water pipe and started washing their hands. Everyone
of the Duoxi village is enjoying this great moment to have
water in their homes. This water project is beneficial not
just to humans, but also all the animals in the Duoxi village. |

In early morning, this little boy was helping his parents to
get water from their own courtyard. Now, the Duoxi village's dream
to bring water to their homes finally came true. For last 500
years, the people of Duoxi village had fetched water from 3 miles
away from their homes. Now, because of our generous donors, the
Duoxi village people are enjoying drinking fresh mountain spring
water in their own homes. Your contribution and support of this
project will be recorded in the history book of the Duoxi village.
It is a great feeling to announce that the Douxi Water Project
was successfully completed on August 1, 2006. Let's enjoy this
moment together for a long time in our hearts and souls.

| TAF board members and some of our American
friends met the spiritual leader of the Duoxi village, the
Pema Rinpoche. The Rimpoche expressed his gratitude and
appreciation for the Duoxi Water Project. He told us that
he wished he could shake every donor's hand to tell them
that their act of compassion will directly benefit those
village people for a long, long time. He added that spiritually,
all the donors accumulated good merits for themselves. This
was a great way to practice compassion according to Buddhist
practice. He was very happy to be part of this project,
as he oversaw its completion. |

The Duoxi village management team came
to the ChaZhu Valley clinic to express their appreciation for the
water project to the board members of the TibetanAid Foundation.
The leader of the Duoxi management team requested that if possible
in the future, the Duoxi village needs help with their latrine and
children's education projects. The TAF members told them that they
would do their best to generate funds to fulfill their needs in
the future.
How you can be a part of it? |
