Had a wonderful visit to Dickey’s (OAT last July-Aug). Our guide said to send clothes, but the cost by UPS is in the hundreds of dollars. Would you rather have the cash or do you have a carrier that is less expensive? Is there an USA Email address? Pat

Just returned from a visit to the orphanage! The new facility looks great and the kids are all doing well and look very healthy. We were there on the 10th of September for the birthday celebration!

I love what you are doing. I am a Friends of Tibet member here in New Zealand and I sponsor two Tibetan children through the Children’s Tibetan Relief Society. My heart goes out to all of you there at Dickey Orphanage. If there was ever a chance to adopt I would seriously consider to help you.
Dear Connie,
Thank you on behalf of the staff in Lhasa for your sympathy towards the children of Tibet. Adoption is indeed not an option at this time, nor is it the purpose of the project. The children live together as one big family in the new orphanage building. Donations will help to feed, clothe and educate them.

I was just wondering if anyone has heard from the orphanage to see if they are alright?

Hello from Miami, Florida! My husband and I would like to help these little angels living in Dickey’s Orphanage. What a great thing this lady is doing! Can someone tell us how we could help? Is there such a thing as SPONSORING a child on a monthly basis? I would like to help in organizing this with someone who would be interested in helping these children. I can be emailed at: havanasoul@aol.com
Thank you much!

Hi, we are some western mums who heard about the orphanage through Coca Cola Company in China. In the spring we sent 2 big boxes with clothes. We have not heard anything from the orphanage, so we wondered if the boxes ever arrived? We have tried to email the orphanage, but whithout hearing anytthing. How can we reach you?
Dear Kristin,
I’ve contacted the orphanage. They did receive the boxes but didn’t find the appropriate e-mail address to send a thank you note. They’ve asked me to thank you on their behalf. Thanks for your support! Sarah
Joanelle - November 7, 2007
I had just returned from my tibet trip on 31 Oct. It was such a memorable and unforgettable experience. During the journey to Gyaptse, I saw two lovely kids age around 8 and 6 years old. They are looking for someone to adopt them.Pls let me know if anyone know how I can help or sponsor these two kids for schooling in Tibet (they are not orphanage but came from a very poor family background)
Susan and Jim Handy - November 2, 2007
We just returned from our China/Tibet OAT trip. We saw the new orphanage where they were finishing the painting and landscaping. we had not yet seen the present orphanage. The children there have not yet seen the new orphangae and wee can only imagine their reaction when they are moved.God Bless all the people involved.
I just returned from a trip to China & Tibet where we visited the orphanage and got to see the new building going up. They’ve made huge progress. It was wonderful to see how much more room the kids will have. I can forward you photos if you’re interested in including them on your website. Please let me know where to send them.
Opps- also forgot to mention that I do a slide show on Tibet, trying to raise donations for the orphanage. I will do the slide show anywhere in the midwest states of the USA. You can request the show by emailing me at gear@downwindsports.com
Hello Bill, Thank you for posting in the guestbook. I wish you all the best with your projects to help the orphanage! There is also an American fundraising project for Dickey’s. Their website is http://www.tibetanorphanfund.org .
Very nice web site! I visited the orphanage 3 years ago and I am planning a return trip September 20081 Looking forward to seeing all of the children again
Khando Tsering - October 1, 2007
Tashi Delek,
My name is Khando Tsering, i currently reside in Western United States. Could you please tell me about adoption of one of the orphanges. I have a family that might be possibly be interested in adopting a child from Tibet. Please let me know. thank you
Sharon Shapiro - August 29, 2007
We collected the combs, toothbrushes and other amenities provided so freely by hotels to bring with us to the Dickey Orphanage in Lhasa. Of course, we also had other useful items and bubbles and finger puppets to please the children. The short visit was enormously satisfying. It will be my very great pleasure to offer what financial assistance I can in the future. Would that I could do more!!!!
B.C.Bhattacharya - August 19, 2007
I am very much pleased to see the effort being made to help the orphan children grow up in the Dickey’s Orphanage, Lahsa. A great job is being done by you.
I am attached to a similar orphanage of destitude tribal girls from poor background at Krishnanagar, West Bengal in India. It was started in eighties with three children and now the population has increased to 233 girl children. The plight of the institution called Ma Sarada Shishutirtha giving house to 233 children of the age of 8 to 14 years, is vry bad because of fund crisis. Although there is big plan to develop the Shishutirtha to an ideal one in respect of educating and giving vocational training to the inmates helping them to settle in life, unfortunately the institution now is not in a position even to feed and accomodate the inmates properly.
Under the circumstances, may I get some advice from you regarding contacts of sources for financial help for this orphanage. It will be a great help for the noble cause.

I visited the Dickey orphanage 3 years ago & fell in love with all of the children, but especially a little girl who held on to my little finger & would not let go as we toured the facility. I would so love to know what has happened to her. I could send a picture of her (as an attachment)with my next e-mail.

Our team from Innovative Humanitarian Solutions had the pleasure of visiting the Dickey Orphanage on July 22, 2007 and providing medical care, passing out stuffed animals and dental hygiene products, and playing with the kids. I can say for certain that we received the greater blessing by being around these kids. We hope that Innovative Humanitarian Solutions (www.innovativehs.net) will continue to work with Dickey to improve the lives of the children. Good luck on your new building!

Hullo Friends,
I am a retired from university in Texas, USA and will be coming to visit your splendid city about Sept. 7-11, 2007. (Plans are not complete yet.)
I am writing to learn what your current needs are for the children. Also, may I be permitted to assist (volunteer) at any small job you may need for a couple of days while I am there? I can teach English or help cook or or clean…..teach American children’s songs, bring materials.
Please tell me what I might be permitted to do to assit the Dickey children while I am in Lhasa. This is the highlight of my venture there.
Sincerely,
(mrs) Nan Nelson
Dear Nan,
Thank you for your offer to help out the orphanage. I’ve forwarded your mail to Mama Dadhon because they need to answer your questions personally from Tibet. We only manage the website for them. We do look forward, however, to your story and pictures which we would like to publish on the Dickey website.
Warm regards,
Sarah
