URGENT APPEAL: Donate to Dalhousie Tibetan Handicraft Relief Efforts

Call for Urgent Support

Department of Home, CTA once again appeal our well-wishers around the globe that unprecedented tragic fire incident left many hopeless at Tibetan Refugee Handicraft Centre, Dalhousie, Himachal Pradesh. 

On 4th of Sept around 10.30 pm in the late evening, the shop taken on rent by Tibetan Refugee Handicraft Centre in Gandhi Chowk, Dalhousie have been totally devastated by fire. This unfortunate and tragic incident has affected Handicraft Society and its shareholders with a total of 440 dependent family members. It has left them both financially and emotionally traumatized. According to the site visit and thorough inquiry conducted by Executive Secretary and Administrative Incharge following the incident, they have suffered a huge loss in financial terms due to total loss of their merchandise to fire. This incident has virtually deprived them of their lifetime’s savings and rendered them totally helpless.

I, therefore, urgently request everyone to support funds so that the Handicraft Society and its shareholders who have fallen victim to this unfortunate and tragic incident could restore their business once again. Your donation fund please be wired to the following bank account of the Department of Home (DOH) and with intimation on the amount transferred and the transferee’s name or that of the organization. Inquiry on the above matter and matters related to fund transfer may be sent to the Executive Secretary, DOH at homesecretary@tibet.net.
