Help Shem USA raise $8781 to repair the prayer hall in Fudi Village
“Great people are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
The overall goal of this project is to preserve the cultural traditions of Fudi Village.
The immediate goal of this project is to buy 32 prayer wheels, repair the leaking roof of the village temple and widen the path around the prayer hall in Fudi Village.
The people of Fudi village have been searching for donors for this urgent project for more than one year. Although the destruction of a sacred cultural space in a village has devastating effects on a community, these effects are often difficult to measure quantitatively. Because cultural preservation projects often do not fit into the established development schemes of many donor organizations, these crucial projects are often in desperate need of funding. Shem USA is in a unique position to provide support for this critical cultural project in Fudi village of eastern Tibet, which improves spiritual well being through cultural preservation.
