Wish List for 2025 Fundraising Dinner

For Odiyana Children’s school

One time expenses

1 . A Vehicle  $1,500 USD A simple vehicle is needed for frequent and necessary trips to the nearby town for daily shopping needs. Although the town is not far, currently our staff members are walking to obtain goods for our residents and find that especially in times of heavy rain and hot weather, it is difficult.

2. Student Desk: $30 USD

Students will be relocated next month into our newly constructed quarters. An immediate need is to provide each one with a good-sized desk for reading, writing, and keeping their personal study materials. We expect 30 students next year, we will need 30 desks, at $30 each, totaling $900.

4. Request for Desktop Computers for Students and Office Use
At present, our students do not have access to any personal electronic devices—and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future. While this helps minimize distractions, having communal desktop computers available has become increasingly important for both learning and administrative work.
Access to computers would greatly support the students learning basic computer literacy and typing in both Tibetan and English. In addition, it would enhance viewing educational materials, presentations, and other online learning resources.   After consulting with our current teachers, we agreed that providing a few shared desktop computers would be very beneficial for the students’ education. We plan to purchase six desktop computers – five for student use and one for the office to organize daily administrative tasks and coordination.
A reliable desktop computer in India costs approximately $500 USD, making the total cost $3,000 USD for the five units.
Any donation—whether to sponsor a single computer or contribute towards the total is deeply appreciated. Your support will make a meaningful difference in helping our students gain essential computer skills and access valuable learning resources.
Thank you very much.
