Some very exciting news!! We are now ready to present our new interactive website, which we have been working very hard on for the past few months. In addition to the new design, It now includes the ability for you to leave comments to share your thoughts. Our website also has a Testimonials page with heartfelt quotes from the abbots of the monasteries, as well as other Rinpoches, Lamas, and monastery administrators. Another upgrade is our payment option. The new ‘Credit Card’ choice will now allow recurring payments for those countries that PayPal did not allow, and include the countries that PayPal did not accept, such as Brazil and The Netherlands. We appreciate the commitment of those of you who have been manually making their sponsorship payments each month, and those patiently waiting to set this up for the first time. And we are very excited to present a new addition to the Sangha Jewels Project! Over the past year many of you have communicated to us the wish to become more involved with the Sangha Jewels Project. Listening to your ideas, we have now added a new component, Sangha Jewels Action Teams. Sangha Jewels Action Teams are individuals or groups that function as Sangha Jewels Project satellites in their local communities. They plan and host various fundraisers in their towns, centers, churches, clubs, etc. As we are expanding and adding additional projects to support the monasteries, these teams play a vital role in our abilities to offer assistance and in increasing financial support for these projects. They are also instrumental in introducing the Sangha Jewels Project to new audiences. We have been asked for assistance with a few things this month. There are projects that we will be launching right away. One is to raise the funds to pay for the salary for a full time nurse at the Shar Gaden clinic. As you may know the new clinic opened last year and to date has been staffed by monastery monks under the supervision of a visiting doctor. Having a nurse on staff will not only improve the health and safety of the monks, but also be able to offer training to the monastery staff. We have also been asked for assistance in purchasing new textbooks, both English and Tibetan, for the upcoming term at Shar Gaden Monastery. We will assist with online fundraising for these projects as well, but the bulk of the fundraising will be done by our action teams. Please visit the Action Team page on our new website for more information on these projects and the steps to come on board! Many hands together and all things are possible. If you would like to request assistance for a need at your monastery please contact us at sanghajewels@gmail with Fundraiser Request in the subject line. sanghajewels.org/help-in-action/
