Helena's Knitters for Peace

Special thanks to the Helena Knitters for Peace. These lovely folks knitted over 120 hats for us to distribute during our service trip 2011. The resident elders at the Jampalang Elder Khang in Dharamsala ALL received beautiful hand knitted caps. They were so appreciative and asked several questions about Knitting for Peace, one very old Ani cried and asked to send blessings for long life to all the knitters.

We also brought hats to each of the young monks at the Dubdi Monastery in Yuksom , Sikkim. Each young monk got to pick out a new hat. They were very happy.

The Helena Knitters for Peace Group will be knitting 300 caps for the 2012 service trip and we THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND WORK FOR PEACE

H.H. the Dalai Lama with Lama Paljor in Kalimpong India

TCEF is excited to welcome Lama Paljor also known as Kushu Penjo la, for his second visit to the USA. He is expected to arrive late September and remain until the end of November.

Lama Paljor has been an inspiration to many. He has dedicated himself to the service of the poorest communities in Sikkim where he has built and manages schools and an educational Hostel . TCEF is honored to collaborate with him through our sponsorship program. In 2010 H.H. the Dalai Lama recognized Lama Paljor’s exceptional social service projects and encouraged him to continue this important work.

We are just now putting together the schedule of events. Please contact us if you would like to host an event with Lama Paljor. He is looking forward to seeing ALL of his friends and meeting new ones.

This tour is to raise money for the much needed Computer Program at Sukhavati Hostel in  Sikkim.
