 Through
its programs the Tarboche Foundation bears witness to the sorrows and
courage of the Tibetan people, wherever they live.
Their web-based MONASTERY PROJECT is documenting the history and status
of Tibetan monasteries, providing maps, photographs, descriptive information,
and personal narratives of monks and nuns.
Their ORAL HISTORY PROJECT is collecting the life stories of Tibetan refugees
who are living in the settlement of Mundgod in south India and in the
Boulder-Denver area.
The TARBOCHE MEMORIAL PARK has been established on 5 acres near Crestone,
Colorado. With its flags and prayers sent aloft by the wind, the Park
is intended for all victims of terrorism and oppression around the world.

The construction has began in March
2002

The Foundation is raising funds to construct a school for intensive English
instruction for former Tibetan political prisoners in a Tibetan refugee
camp in India. TARBOCHE HOUSE will provide living accommodations and classrooms
for 20 students in English, Tibetan, and computer skills.
A director of the foundation works for The Sustainable Village and we
are hoping to establish an appropriate tool and technology demonstration
and training program with TARPOCHE HOUSE for Tibetan refugees in India.
This is part of our initiative to help redesign refugee camps as ecologically
sustainable settlements. For more information about this project, please
