  &nbsp;  
  
    Over the years, we have built up relationships with a number of schools across the UK, giving students and adults alike the opportunity to really engage with the culture and contemporary situation in Tibet.      
         
  We have now designed an education pack to be used in lesson and activity planning with a wide range of ages.&nbsp; This pack is designed to be a starting point for learning about Tibet, and as such we encourage teachers to adapt it as they wish for lesson plans, assemblies or activities.&nbsp;  
  The pack contains information on the geography, culture, history, language and religion of Tibet, as well as recipes for Tibetan food, and fun activities such as mask making and prayer flag printing.  
  We are more than happy to arrange school visits by staff members and VIP Tibetan guests to your school, so please do get in contact.  
  
  
  
    Downloadable PDF files:      
         
  The pack has been split into sections to enable it to be downloaded for free from this site, please click on the following links for a preview:

    Support this project...      
                    If  you would like to support the project by purchasing their unique dolls and angels, you can do so at:                  
                  &nbsp;                        
                                     
                  &nbsp;                  
                                      
  &nbsp;

    Dolls4Tibet has achieved a great deal in 2011, made possible by the support its workshop has received from the purchase of their Bopa Dolls and Angels!    
         
             
  The organisation started 2011 with three women making dolls, plus two tailors stitching the clothes from home; a completely empty bank account and a great deal of hard work to put in to fulfil their existing orders!  
  They took a big step up in April, holding a stall to coincide with His Holiness&rsquo; teachings in June, which entailed   &nbsp;  training and employing more women and developing new products to widen their range.  &nbsp;   The organisers of the workshop were slightly worried to enlarge the workshop as they didn&rsquo;t want to train anybody who they might later be unable to provide work for; thankfully, this risk has paid off and worked out well for all concerned!   &nbsp;&nbsp;  Since April they have been working on maximum capacity in the newly expanded workshop, and have had plenty of orders to keep them busy.  &nbsp;     
  By the end of the year, the workshop employed seven women to make dolls, a further two part time workers, one full-time tailor and four tailors working from home - a fantastic achievement!  &nbsp;   What&rsquo;s more, they have seen their first ever profits in the workshop account; which equals a sustainable future for the project and the women it employs.  
    A message from the workshop:    
             
    &ldquo;We feel we are doing something worthwhile, and of course we want to reach out and spread the word about Tibet with our products&hellip;&nbsp;     
    We would like to thank you all so, so much, for whatever support you were able to give us &ndash; be it as an individual, who bought a doll or an angel from us, a shop who is ordering and displaying our dolls, somebody who is aware of us and spreads the word or somebody who is thinking about supporting us&ndash; each one of you has been and is important to us, as you are enabling us to do what we do and go ahead and face the New Year with great hope, joy and confidence.  &nbsp;       
    May Tibetans around the world be heard and find justice and may Tibet soon be free of Chinese occupation and tyranny.&rdquo;

    &nbsp;        Some estimates say that printer cartridges worth around &pound;500,000 were dumped in landfill sites over the last decade.&nbsp;       They could have been used  to provide much-needed cash to charities.      &nbsp; Why not ask your workplace to start a collection on behalf of Tibet Relief Fund and recycle even more?        &nbsp;    
  
    Have you got old mobile phones and printer cartridges cluttering up your drawers and cupboards? Why not use them to support Tibet Relief Fund? &nbsp;    
  Every year millions of people change their mobile phones, meaning there are many unused mobile phones in homes and workplaces throughout Britain.&nbsp; Free up some space in your desk drawer, help out the environment and raise money for Tibet Relief Fund; what's not to like?  
    What could be easier than dropping your mobile phone, PDA or printer cartridge into a freepost envelope, then popping it in the post?
