Julley!

After experiencing the catastrophic flood disaster in Ladakh in 2010, together with the Ladakhi brothers Imran Mohd and Gulzar Hussain, Ulli Felberdecided to launch "Support Ladakh" (in german: "Hilfe für Ladakh") - a fundraising project to support Ladakhi families which were heavily affected by the flood. In the meantime the project has grown year by year: We still support some of the affected families and especially their children's education. In the last years our main focus shifted to support the nomad school of Changtan, near the Tibetan border.

 With the donations and the help of volunteers 
we have been able to do the following:

- Supply of over 300 families with cement (2010/2011 after the tsunami)
- Financial support for five severely affected families and their children 
(since 2010 - until today)
- Funding for the school in Phey, the Zanskar Residential Solar Hostel 
and the Efterskole in Phyang (2016)
- Supply the nomad school in Changtang with school materials and workshops, establishment of an emergency fund and a craft center with attached library (since 2011 until today)
- Support for sponsored children (since 2014 until today)

By chance we were taken to the nomad school in school and in school, far away from their families. The resources in the 4500 m high nomadic area are scarce. The difference between children's meals consists mostly of rice and lentils. In the school, where there are no sanitary facilities, the children are led into the river in which they are available. The subject matter is kept simple, especially since neither teaching staff nor working materials are available.

With little less, we can relate to loved ones year after year a great joy: In addition to the treatment with teaching material, toys and sports equipment as well as an annual ration of hygiene items, which we supervise more every summer with the administration of affordable helpers. Drawing, photography and personal care. In 2014 we also have an emergency fund for the disabled supervision of the child administration. In the first two years, the focus was on the establishment of the literary and craft center "Nomadisc Lifein the Western Himalayas", which we have been doing since summer 2018.

In August 2018, after the completion of the construction work, we were able to start our long-awaited literary and craft project "Nomadism in the Western Himalayas". In the center, two nomadic women teach the schoolchildren in traditional handicrafts - on the one hand they make a valuable contribution to the preservation of this dwindling cultural heritage, and on the other hand the children receive an additional qualification to teach at school. An important element here will also be the production of carpets and pashmina scarves, the sale of which will enable the school to later earn pocket money that will benefit the children. The library, on the other hand, serves teachers for academic development and students to get to know their own culture deeply, which they will recognize and appreciate there, in order to maintain it in the future with targeted steps. We need donations every year to supply the center with material and to cover the nomad's salary!
