This has been done by an organisation called "Conscious Journeys". Should you wish to travel to Tibet, have a look at the Conscious Journeys website on www.consciousjourneys.com. It may be the adventure of your life. Contact Don Cullen at tvpaust@gmail.com for more details.

As we are well in to the year we thought it a good time to bring you up to date with some new projects at TVPA.

We have been busy setting up a program of women's education. This is a little unusual for this part of the world.  Illiteracy is very common in Tibet, particularly among women and those in Nunneries normally miss out altogether. We have started to remedy this situation by providing teachers who are teaching basics like reading, writing and basic maths. It is amazing how some of the pupils have taken the opportunity with gusto and are showing excellent aptitudes in their learning.

We plan to expand this program albeit slowly as we have to tackle cultural issues in this area as well.
