Traditional Clothing for the Children of Tibet Established July 25, 2005

At the request of a generous donor, TIBET AID established an endowment fund, the Traditional Tibetan Clothing Fund, to support the hand-crafting of traditional Tibetan clothing and costumes for Tibetan refugee children at the Tibetan Children's Villages in northern India and Nepal. Tibetan children wear these beautiful garmets during cultural events, festivals, and performances. All traditional costumes and ornaments are prepared and made by Tibetan weavers, tailors and crafts-workers. The Traditional Tibetan Clothing Fund was created by Rex Niswander as a gift to his wife, Sonoko, on their 25th wedding anniversary. Each year, proceeds from the Traditional Tibetan Clothing Fund will go to Tibetan artisans who will craft authentic Tibetan costumes and clothing for orphaned, impoverished, and destitute Tibetan children. Contributions to the Traditional Tibetan Clothing Fund can be distributed immediately or designated to supplement the endowment, which will mature over five years to become a self-renewing resource for the handcrafting of traditional Tibetan garments for Tibetan children. For further information or to contribute to the Traditional Tibetan Clothing Fund, please contact Tibet Aid by telephone (1-877-TIBET-AID = 1-877-842-3824), email (info@tibetaid.org) or via the internet (donationform.htm).
